You're wasting your time with these kinds of ideas. For several reasons.
The only real protection an NPC corp gives a player is protection from wardecs.
Someone who doesn't want wardecs at all, ever, is not going to have them. They can simply make their own one-man corp and then bail if they get wardecced. This is not terribly inconvenient to do, only requires a few minutes of training, and costs very little isk.
The end result is that players who don't want to be wardecced have to live a miserable existence in a one man corp with nobody to talk to. But they still won't be able to be forced into PvP because they do not want to be.
There is no isk faucet. EVE is experiencing a deflation right now, despite all of the highsec mission running carebears. I wonder why.
Taxes for NPC corps probably wouldn't be a bad thing, but would penalize new players just for being new. I think having pitiful skill points and lack of experience is good enough.
Just leave it alone. The amount of players who actually enjoy living and playing in an NPC corp is pretty small and aren't really affecting you in the big picture. I see no reason to worry about it currently. Maybe if it becomes an epidemic...

Nonsense. You simply create a 1 man corp with 5 minutes of training, anchor the pos with your 9.9 standings from grinding missions all day, and then use a placeholder alt to hold the corp.
Yeah, you're absolutely right. Too bad your logic is only limited to justifying your own selfish point of view.
Forcing players out of NPC corps would simply create a bunch of 1 man corps who would bail at the first wardec. The end.

Take things one step at a time
first the corps
then the wardec changes
players will quit
forums will go down
butts will be hurt
ruthless pvp game promised is then delivered
Yes, one thing at a time. List of things that CCP needs to do in order of importance:
1. Fix the goddamned bugs
2. Improve the UI
3. Reduce lag
4. Fix the broken sound engine
...
...
326. Do something about the couple hundred people who don't want to leave NPC corps

if fixing the bugs was always #1 then nothing would never get done.
Well... you got me there.
