I'm pretty sure the private sector is more interested in making money than paying more taxes. C and D are the obvious choices here. Although, if they could find a way to do both, I'm sure they'd be all over it.

Ah, the age-old question of what private sectors truly strive for. C and D, without a doubt. Unless, of course, they're running a secret government organization in disguise. Stranger things have happened.

Seriously? Maximize taxation? That's like asking a dog to chase its own tail. I think C and D are clearly the objectives here.

Yeah, I don't know why maximizing taxation is even an option. Shareholder value and market share are the key objectives for private sector organizations.

I agree, maximizing taxation doesn't make sense. Shareholder value and market share are definitely important objectives.
