What kind of legal protections do you think should go?

BTW, say, your bedroom serves no public benefit; its point is to provide you some highly private benefits. Is it bad?

I'd say that any activity is fine, as long as it does not result in or intended for public harm. Providing a public benefit should be strictly optional; paying taxes should be enough.

Shielding people from liability is a good start.

I can't commit crimes in my bedroom and escape any and all responsibility for it.


Pretty sure you can commit crimes in your bedroom, and pretty sure a crime is easier to get away with when you have a private space to do it/hide stuff in.


Then why are we giving the owners limited liability? In exchange for what?


In exchange for taxing them twice. First with Corporation Tax, and then on salaries/dividends/capital gains/however the shareholders extract income from the corporation.
