Except that I think businesses need to pay the real costs of doing business. If a business sells something that costs the state beucoup bucks, then that business should have to pay the cost- TO THE STATE, not to individuals.

So it IS about responsibility, and businesses are every bit as responsible as humans acting on their own. If I send you to the hospital, I or my insurance should pay- even if you made the choice to come to my house and hang out with me. If Mc Donald's sends you to the hospital, even if you made the decision to go there, Mc D ought to pick up the costs attributable to that visit. It might be too hard to apportion that kind of responsibility- but responsible they are, imo.
