    It makes perfect sense for them. It doesn’t make sense that the rest of us don’t beat them until they change their ways.

      eh, i tend to think that political action is more meaningful than bashing the companies. if you bash 1 company and it goes down, another one takes its place. you need to implement higher taxation because that affects all companies.

      also we need more effective politics at the local level. washington doesn’t care about us

        We should tax wealth not work. But that’s not socialism. Socialism is workers owning the means of production.

          wealth is accumulated income. income is generally from work. that’s the logic they use to justify “already” having taxed wealth. simple as that.

            Wealth disparities of millions of times are anathema to democratic government. If you don’t want peasants and feudal nobility, you have to offset wealth accumulation.

            Inheritance taxes have proven insufficient. So wealth taxes are the next best compromise.
