Like the Iraq War, overstuffed prisons, handouts to private corporations, Trident, Private Finance Initiative, and foreign aid with disasterous strings attached?Oh well, I suppose it goes to good things
Wealthy people use tax havens; in any case I'm not sure you can actually justify the claim that this government does "absolutely nothing" for rich people.Imagine how those wealthy people you loathe so feel. Most of their hard-earned goes back to the government and they get absolutely nothing in return as they don't generally drain on state resources.
Personally, if I ever earn enough to put me in the 50%, I'm moving it to a quiet little tax haven
I really object to my taxes being spent unwisely..
Most people drive 1.2-1.6 litre shitboxes here, it's too expensive to drive anything decent.

Modern corporatist states include Mexico, which requires its citizens to join large, state-run "corporations" or syndicates. It is literally illegal in corporatist states to lobby the government without being part of a state-run corporation. In corporate states, the goal of the "corporations" is not profit, but political representation. Corporate influence on democratic states with free markets is known as corporate pluralism, or corporate hyperpluralism, which is what we have in the US. In these states, corporations are privately owned and run to create a profit, but they can also lobby the government for their interests. In a hyperpluralist state, there are so many competing corporate interests that nothing can ever get done.
The government should stay the hell out of economics.
Economics is the managing of resources, which are finite.
Government is the managing of people's desires, which are infinite.
