Entrepreneurs don’t have a special gene for risk

You're absolutely right. You can't tax a business. But you can tax those who benefit from that business. You can also legislate so that those in charge of businesses are fully legally accountable for the actions carried out under the leadership.
 
The facts are simple - us i.e. 90% of the population are getting rolled over by the 1% who are using the remaining 9% as faux examples of how "capitalism" works for everyone. It's rubbish and anyone with an ounce of sense knows it. The entire economic, taxation and political system in practically every country that calls itself "first world" is set up like this to a greater or lesser degree with the USofA being the prime example but Ireland, UK, Germany etc. not being terribly far behind. These people do not pay their share END OF STORY. Make them pay....

I wish I American so I could vote for Bernie Sanders.

“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”

John Steinbeck

I recently watched a very good TED Talk about this very issue, from an unapologetic capitalist who understands what is happening, why its bad, and how to fix it. It's well worth a watch (about 20 minutes long).
