I think you actually gave the 'correct' answer earlier: no one can really come up with a better system. If I heard one, I'd be down for it - but I've never heard one.

I acknowledge that I can't back this up very well, but I still think it would be better for our perception of being responsible for ourselves not to have the pay out connected to some corporation say 5% responsible when the dumbass himself is say 20% responsible.
Sure, we can spread the corporate cost out to the rest of us through other means, but there's still a suggestion of actual responsibility by the company and therefore a suggestion that we aren't mainly responsible for ourselves. And I don't know if this comes out in the societal wash or not.
(Now, I don't really know how my general fund idea encourages individual responsibility better since it probably would require the government to act on our behalf.)
