Break up the massive corporations, restore the anti-trust laws that presided over the most prosperous and fairest decades, hunt down and close the tax loopholes and set a tax rate that ensures the rich pay their fair share (and not, for example, less than I do), set extremely strict political donation limits and campaign spending limits to get the money out of politics, cut corporate welfare and support small businesses instead, establish a single-payer healthcare system to negotiate on behalf of everyone and so shift the negotiating power in favour of the patient, crack down on obscene pharmaceutical profiteering and limit corporate CEO bonuses and shareholder dividends so that their money actually goes into research and not megayachts and lobbyists.

Okay. I agree with that. I thought you were going to be a socialist.

Always find it funny when socialists get mad we bail out banks and stuff... I'm like, wait a minute, that was YOUR ALLs idea lmao..

Capitalism is about letting banks die when they... Die. Socialism is about the public ownership of losses (they just want profits too).

And then I hear "well this is the result of capitalism". Yeah. Carl Mark said that capitalist societies go socialist. So aren't we agreeing that we don't want to go socialist? These safety nets of bailing people out cost US, the taxpayers. Laugh my ass off.

Yeah people don't understand that rich people don't take an income so they don't pay tax. It's not that they're doing loopholes it's that they literally don't have an income. So people can spout off about how angry they are but it really does nothing. We have to go back to the drawing board on taxation to include rich people. The ignorance is frustrating. I just want people to first learn that what rich people do is take out consecutive loans unendingly, BECAUSE they have growing capital for collateral.
