So what are you saying? You are against big business?
I am not sure what the point is you are trying to get at. Also not sure why you are demonizing banks that were forced to receive TARP monies even if
they did not need them.
You should be more upset at your representatives. Seriously.
I'm not sure about Drew - but I am TOTALLY against big business - and the current brand of globalization, which simply amounts to illegal activity
that has bought the laws required to be considered legal.
One of the fundamental problems that faces many in these issues is that of legality. People need to understand that laws are bought and paid for.
How many laws have you been party to creating? How many times have you lobbied govt to change a law in your favor?
The law is an obstacle to justice - and it should be in the most part discarded. These things cannot expect to be resolved inside a system that is
self supporting - you cannot defeat the problem by working within the current laws - they must be changed.
If there is a revolution I would hope they remove then entire current system of law. There needs to b only one law - do no harm, and cause no loss.
Loss or harm then needs to be established, then it needs to be proved that someone inflicted it upon another - after that - the penalty needs to be
decided. No millions of books - no millions of loopholes.
Monopolistic businesses are not efficient, neither are they desirable. They do not provide for the customer - they are able to simply crush anyone
who might offer something better. Due to market share and premium discount rates they have unfair advantage.
Large corporations need to be broken down into VERY small parts.
A total change of taxation policy is a good method to achieve this - simply tax net assets and transactions, and don't tax productivity at all.
Businesses would have to go small to escape increasing tax burdens - competition would thrive.
The main improvement would be loss of political power - so no single group, or single entity could control the governing bodies.
Yes GBM - some of us have enough brains to realize that the concentration of power is not in the interests of common men, large corporations represent
the very largest of global power concentrations. Many have economies larger than most countries.
Wealth is power, and power corrupts. Corrupt use of this power results in further concentration of power and the siphoning of wealth away from those
workers who produce it - to those who simply hoard it.
