In my America Businesses and Corporations are smarter than government. Government comes to Corporations to ask for help. Corporations know it is good public relations with the people and government to propose programs to help the people and to promote good public relations. The Corporations also know that it is wiser to create a program then to have the government dictate regulations and taxes.
In my America the government would not tax or direct regulations who's cost could be passed on to the consumer. The government would negotiate and create incentives for the corporations to help out in certain areas. Take for instance free phones for the poor or WI-FI for some school areas. They would sit down and discuss this with the corporations and congress and come up with a plan that would fulfill the needs of the people without putting a direct burden on others.
Now this how I was taught our system should work and system of checks and balances where compromise is KING not the a King who does not compromise or even thinks straight.
