It's not about what employees "deserve," it's about the simple fact that the law allows the tax authorities to wind up a business to cover the tax bill. See the UK, where HMRC wound up Rangers FC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administration_and_liquidation...).

So we can put people above companies. With a stroke of a pen.

We can do what you suggest but the result is the same for the people being laid off.
