When billions of dollars are given to corporations, universities and others to support development of technologies and industries, shares of the companies or resultant patents should be given to taxpayers.
How? Set up a special purpose company (SPC) for the investment. Have corporations issue new shares at a generous price to the SPC in return for the investment. Then SPC in return issue shares to taxpayers. Using an SPC makes it easier to divide shares for taxpayers.
For example, if the SPC is given a 1% stake, then the SPC can issue new 200 million shares in the SPC to 200 million taxpayers. Just give everyone who pays taxes a share. Don't give more shares to those who pay more taxes. That's not good for wealth redistribution. Think of it as a sort of a bridge to universal income.
Same thing for patents, the SPC signs a contract to receive a share of royalties in return for the investment.
Just don't keep giving money to corporations and giving tax incentives for nothing in return but false promises of JOBS and a good ECONOMY. Hello! Can you hear me? LOL
Samsung plans to have a fully automated semiconductor plant by 2030. Seems contrary to their promise to create tons of jobs. Apparently, the condition 'unless employing people is unprofitable' applies.
