Zim, exactly. No business I ever worked for or with was in business to throw away money. The purpose of a business is to show a profit. If the profit gets too small or goes away, the business shuts down or changes the way it operates to get back to a satisfactory profit. Why would anyone want to work 80 hours a week to make a 2% profit when they could earn 3% for doing nothing? Most businesses expect a NET profit, after expenses and taxes, of at least 10%. If the profit gets bigger then the business expands. If it gets smaller, employees lose their jobs. That is simple business 101. But KTC seems to think that business should operate at a loss while giving large amounts of money to the government. Then the government can make poor folks rich by giving them money for watching TV, playing games, and having babies.
