And he's just so damn sincere about it. LOL!
How do you square this circle: The structure and legal basis of the modern MAGA corporation bears a great deal of resemblance to feudal estates, and this reality is at odds in an era that claims to value democracy over the Divine Right of Kings?
Warren has a plan:
Accountable Capitalism Act - Wikipedia
"The Accountable Capitalism Act, 115th Congress (2017-2018) S. 3348 is a proposed federal bill introduced by Senator Elizabeth Warren in August 2018.
"It would require that employees elect 40% of a board of directors of any corporation with over $1 billion in tax receipts, and that 75% of shareholders and directors must approve any political spending.
"Corporations with revenue over $1 billion would be required to obtain a federal corporate charter.
"The Act contains a 'constituency statute' that would give directors a duty of 'creating a general public benefit' with regard to a corporation's stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, and the environment, and the interests of the enterprise in the long-term.[1]"
The US is among a minority of OECD countries that gives no representation to the workforce (majority) in corporate governance.
For years Warren has claimed "corporations are not people."
Now her Accountable Capitalism Act demands that corporations that claim the legal rights of personhood should be legally required to accept the moral obligations of personhood.
Socialism, not capitalism, resembles the feudal state...
You're missing the principle of privilege:equality under law is a hallmark of democracy while privilege sanctioned by law is a hallmark of aristocracy. Feudal lords extracted wealth from serfs the same way rich parasites (like Trump) use corporations to amass private fortunes at public expense today.
When was the last time you had an original thought?So you would rather post other people’s thoughts? I ll explain why because you’re dumb. No one clicks on or reads your links. No one. You’re wasting your time. This is one of your few posts that I read because they were actually your words.Georgie any idiot can post pics. How about an original thought or two?Original thought?
Do you mean am I capable of thinking about something no one has ever thought of before?
No.
This is a board for political opinions not original thoughts.
Since there are many publishing regularly on the Internet who share my opinions and are more qualified than I to opine on these subjects, I link my beliefs to sources that I believe support my opinions.
Why would anyone post regularly online without taking advantage of the wealth of information existing there?
/——/ horse shyt. I wasn’t born into money but I now have a comfortable life.
Those of us born at the end of WWII had a huge advantage our parents paid for by living through the Great Depression and the global conflict that followed like night follows day,
There's a crony-capitalist in the White House presiding over the most corrupt administration in recent US history. It will require a candidate like Warren or Bernie to reverse the massive damage Trump has done to America.
Only a bit more than another 5 years, GP ... hang in there.
It's more likely Republicans will throw Trump under the bus before November 2020.
Just now. I think Tulsi Gabbard should run as an Independent.When was the last time you had an original thought?So you would rather post other people’s thoughts? I ll explain why because you’re dumb.

Inquiry and impeachment are not the same thing.Only a bit more than another 5 years, GP ... hang in there.It's more likely Republicans will throw Trump under the bus before November 2020.
CBS News poll: Majority of Americans and Democrats approve of Trump impeachment inquiry
That's probably one of the reasons we have the biggest economy.

I said should. Here is another one. I think pro choice should be for both men and women. See I answer questions you dodge them.
As I understand it, a federal charter would give the federal government the ability to ensure large corporations function for the benefit of all stakeholders, i.e., employees, vendors, surrounding communities and not for the sole purpose of maximizing shareholder value; they would no longer be allowed to foul the local air or water and pass the clean-up costs off on government.
Poor people have been getting things without paying for them for a long time, too.Would that taxpayer be among the richest ten percent of Americans?
Free Lunch - David Cay Johnston - Book Review
"'Free Lunch' consists of 26 chapters, each a case study of a corporation enriching itself through lax or solicitous government: beggar-thy-neighbor state and local tax breaks to lure businesses, government subsidies for sports stadium construction, electricity deregulation and so on."
Imho, rich people have been getting things without paying for them for as long as the USA has existed.
Over much of that time corporations have expanded their power largely through the courts.
Warren is calling for a democratic (congressional) reassessment of the political leverage corporations, and the investor class they fund, have acquired over the majority of Americans across the past two hundred years.
Thing is, the policies Warren insists we need, and you blindly parrot, will only put people out of work and dependent on government.
Despite what you've been led to believe, that is not a good thing.How did FDR respond when the owners of capital could not or would not provide jobs during the Great Depression?
Green New Deal - Wikipedia
Bad example. FDR's policies dragged out the great depression. In fact, FDRs policies caused a recession inside the great depression.
Similarly, the Green New Deal would only screw us over.FDR's New Deal put millions of Americans back to work when capitalists CRASHED the global economy in 1929. A Green New Deal would have a similar effect; however, rich parasites among the US investor class would not be among those who benefit.
First, off FDR's new deal, was entirely policies that Hoover had in place, before FDR came to power. They didn't restart the economy under Hoover, and certainly didn't under FDR.
Second, as we have posted the research on this before, by most estimates, the policy by FDR not only did not put people back to work, but likely dragged out the recession for decades.
Third, FDR's second New Deal, which was implemented from 1935 to 36, caused a recession during the great depression. Clearly the policies had a negative effect, and only the most foolish and ingnorant can't see what doesn't conform to their partisan belief system.
Forth, you are the most stupid of all partisan bigots, if you really think that investors will not benefit from the green new deal.
