There’s no doubt about it. You’re right about that. We need to be very careful not to give the government power to persecute.

Maybe it all goes to education. I think if Americans were taught about forming corporations, some of the ways money gets raised (sale of shares, borrowing), and small business entrepreneurs were given some serious tax cuts, we might see some movement in a good direction. As much as I am hostile to corporatism, I do believe the business corporation is a great and powerful invention that can be leveraged for good.

There are also ham-handed ways of doing it like giving the government more power to intervene in private interests, but I think more along your lines, that could lead to violence and dictatorship if not managed incredibly well.
