A "Profit first" philosophy doesn't mesh really well with all those great things Crossroadia has like a social security net and comprehensive free health care.
Because EVERY company in Crossroadia is considered a "Franchise" of Crossroadia itself. If someone wants to start a company,they can apply foir a loan from, the Crossroadian treasury to establish a company. If that company becomes successful and turns profit, it is consider part of the over all meg corporation of Crossroadia, and pays a portion of its companies profites to the government.Company. Basically my people pay MASSIVE Taxes. All the huge corporations that make money up the yingyang Also pay massive taxes as well. It takes large chunks out of thier profits, but it placates the people.
If everyone has craddle to grave health care, high-class schools, social security etc, well, people tend to not get upset, as much, that a large, very large, portion of thier paychecks, along with most corporations, are going to the government. And since the government "owns" most all large coporations, things like the sale of military goods, Zepplins, cars, all that goes back into the government. In the end, as long as most corporations in the nation turn a profit, so shall the "government"
