There's a lot of "ifs" here with little evidence they're true or necessary.
Without examining all of the "ifs" let me just characterize the argument as fundamentally pro-corporation. I think it's better for society that corporations justify the money invested in them rather than artificially structuring the money such that people are forced to hand their money over to corporations as a form of wealth preservation because Paul Krugman said we'd have a Great Depression otherwise.
