Hi, Tim

1) "beneficial" to whom?

2) What is a "neutral" size?

Whatever ...

The answers are in the essay. The Citizenship Tax is a progressive tax for the use of resources. Whatever size an entity attains it must bear the tax appropriate for that size.

Since the tax is passed on to the consumer, it's not a burden ... unless the entity grows to a point where the tax forces pricing above that needed by others seeking to attract the same consumers.
