Withholding tax administration contribution is a form of contribution to the government and to the people too (in case of salary withholding tax). So companies are not just taxed on their profit income tax etc, but also on their administrative contribution.
I'm not saying the people don't deserve this, I'm just saying it should be taken into account too
If laws were to be applied or updated, people should be let known of all the motivations behind the ratifying of the law. So a good practice would be, upon the proposal stage and the discussion stage, the lawmakers made public of all of the reasons, interests, motivations, benefits, and concerns of them supporting and not supporting the law.
I'm talking about revealing the personal side of the motivations as well, and to normalize the practice of doing so. Everyone involved in the ratification process of the law, would list and publicize their personal concerns and their systemic / macro concerns. You should expect and commonly see non virtue signalling, selfish, personal interests being presented... if not then it's not good enough. The only virtue signalling would be in the honesty and courage of the publication. Albeit all of the involved people were doing it, so the spotlight would be diversified.
It is not normal to be all virtuous, especially in a creation of a law that's going to be pervasive and permanent, because it would strongly took effect on all sides of life direct/indirectly. The sanctity of the law, part of it, the essential part of it, is in the inclusiveness and the pervasiveness of it to all people. So it is only fair for everyone to know all of the purposes behind the application of it in their lives. We should expect the revelation of selfishness in order to get a better understanding of our futures.
In the beginning it might seem strange to have people in power being selfish, but it is only true. After people got used to it they should then be able to accept that, that's the way it is and now it's even better that it's all revealed. They themselves when in power would in turn reveal their policy creating motivations and they would be prepared for it when they decided to go into public official careers.
Of course the selfish purposes of it should not be made as the purposes of the law itself
1. Companies that are a monopoly or a part of an oligopoly should not be allowed to assume control over another company nor be taken over by another company
2. As Corporate Social Responsibility taxes, they must invest in other businesses as minority interests.
3. They must set up a legislative representations for their stakeholders in their policy making board, and an independent judiciary system for deciding over disputes in their practices.
4. Not allowed to have in their terms of services clauses that prevented class actions
My problem with monopoly and oligopoly is that when a country progressed and grew, they were a part of the driving force of the growth, but even though they came up on top they were not the only reason why. So now we have only few providers of solutions dominating the markets while losing other elements, enriching elements, required to continue the healthy growth.
The healthy growth that I'm talking about is a pyramid shaped or a ship shaped hierarchy where the middle class' wealth and the lower class' wealth were the main contributors. The unhealthy growth is when the prosperity of the economy stuck in the high income group, no longer translated as growth of most of the people.
You can see this in the high barrier to profitability due to restrictive regulations that favors only monopoly/oligopoly businesses contrast to the pioneering era when the growth of the economy was the growth of numerous businesses of many kinds (also bearing their own innovations to be offered for the economy).
Moreover we as consumers are stuck with their management decisions over our lifestyle since they are the only sources of the products we use. This is tyrannical, its heading towards the directions of having some north koreas inside a country or in the world.
Capitalist should be entitled to their profit, but when it had entered the field of monopoly/oligopoly, their policies were life changing and that kind of power should not be held by a private organization. It would be great if they were not in an oligopoly/monopoly, then by all means please be rich oh our sources of solutions.
The deal is there are a lot of other sources of solutions besides them that participated in the products but not yet been rewarded as significantly. There are many of them. So before assuming such crucial power over other people's well being, why not adjust for justice first? The innovators, the educators, the therapists, the pioneers, the protectors, the grateful consumers... as if they were not contributors of the (exceptional) power as well? Again I'm not denying that most of these people are winners and their products are the best (the original people), if there were no other options then surely they couldn't help but being a monopolist or a part of an oligopoly. That's why the no. 2 of my suggestion, we must try our best to eliminate the field of oligopoly/monopoly. They rendered the consumers undiversified as well as other participators of their services, and that's a liability to disaster.
The harsher punishment you impose on simple things, the more you give people reason to be smokescreen, to be one with those who actually needed to pay or be rehabilitated. Stop playing into this countries! Soften the blow, reveal the virtues, reveal the true problems of priorities
-------------------
One of the virtue that needs to be acknowledged by the law is the risk and the discipline of the entrepreneurs. They really sacrificed most of the time unfathomable amounts to innovate and do something interesting for the lives of others (reason to go on).
These sacrifices if kept on not being revealed up in the open, not being brought to light, would deprive others' contributions as well. A form of it could be the tension in the workplace, unfair treatments of each other due to existence of perceived injustice, motivation to not be open about oblivious problems of each members of the team, then the increasing motivation to sacrifice professionalism.
Another problem would be the value of ingenuity, the expensiveness of wisdom / technology. That's a hard one to be internalized. Because a lot of time it eased efforts for the long run instead of exerting them... But they are more valuable. That's a hard one. We should really appreciate people in the education department or the media that have helped to enlighten people of this
This is my assurance:
The difficulties and troubles you have to go through in order to synchronize with the law or to obey the law, is the present value of all the sorrows you'll experience out the violations. What are the interest rates then? I say it depends on the types of issues but when it has become a law that is acknowledged by 7 billion people of the world... it's not small
You might experience slight discomfort out of your not so slight violations, but really? I say the laws of the people have been evolving for thousands of years now I could safely equate dealing with problems by violating the law is like treating the symptoms not the disease. Dealing with problems by adhering to the law, even though it is not healing the disease, it would be more of a permanent, more humanly compatible, solutions.
I don't believe this is absolute,
But could you make it real by just playing the lottery?
Another thing, don't lose yourself... machines haven't figured out how to pay itself into life yet.
----------------------------------------
The reason why I'm telling you this is for us to be a gravity significant enough to create a momentum, and then change the law in accordance to our interests and to your intuitions. Because we are not machines, we are human beings, your intuitions are mostly like my intuitions and vice versa. Your sense of Justice is my sense of Justice (ultimately).
Use the design, change the design, use the design... the monopolizers want to have the world only to themselves and they are disgusted with us, with a lot of us, that's why they wanted to keep us out of the law. They want to have the world only for themselves, and eventually the 1% of the 1% is going to want to have the world for themselves, and then the 1% of the...
So be alive, Have Law Have Life
