A corporation's purpose is to maximize profit for its shareholders. It is required to obey prevailing laws, but otherwise has no enforceable constraints. A trust, by contrast, is normally given a specific mission, which its trustees are legally bound to fulfill. For example, a trust can be established by a wealthy individual to preserve assets for children or grandchildren, or for a charitable cause. Trusts needn't be driven by short-term calculations.
Trustees are accountable neither to a ruthless stock market nor a fickle electorate.
Trusts are thus ideally suited to, and frequently used for, long-term preservation of assets. The beneficiaries of the trust we propose would be all US citizens, current and future. Trust dividends would be a nontransferable property right of all US citizens, including children. They'd be paid annually in a lump sum, as in Alaska. Every American, whether rich or poor, would thus have a source of property-based income.
