  • Yep. They’ve been enacting their “dollars equal votes” agenda since the 70s, and finally got it fully implemented, after decades of yo-yoing corporate/wealthy wants vs plurality rights and policy needs. The wealthy have always opted for profits over the greater good, and this President even alluded to knowing it when he was asked as a much younger man which party he’d run for as President and he said republican because their voters are stupid. he knows the conservative machine is a con game that only grind up rubes to increase profits at the expense of the nation and general well being of the future.


  • That, and they grossly underpay their workers, including by undoing the American tradition of subsidizing wages with benefits like healthcare, vacation time, childcare, education, etc. - healthcare shouldn’t be tied to one’s work load, but if it’s going to be taken away, they should be paid by law enough to avoid falling on the state or emergency rooms or death avoidably, needlessly because billionaires want as much profit as possible at the expense of their worker’s welfare.

    If a company and their owners are paying too little to their workers, if too many are on welfare, can’t afford healthcare or the basic needs, the company and owners should be penalized so hard they are compelled to do what’s right for the society they benefit and profit from though that labor and use of resources. If they fail, break up the company, sell it off, or close it down - just don’t make the penalty a rounding error that becomes just the cost of doing business as usual.
