Not sure taxes are a good example for justifying a balance in an ultra-capitalistic society between corporations and individuals. When you see how some politicians favor as little taxation as possible for the wealthiest while too often, poor families can't afford to pay a doctor for their sick child.

I want my equities to grow and that requires profit.

Should there be a balance of public interest? Sure. That's why there are corporate taxes, to use just one example of balance.
