That's correct

A very small percentage of people have this nature... The problem is, because everyone else has a more docile and cooperative nature, the sociopaths are able to just trample them.

Well I'd hope those other places would follow suit. But also, the free market would still allow others to fill the shoes of the companies that left. And whether a company pays a worker who then pays taxes, or whether we cut out the middleman and the company just pays the taxes directly, it's the same amount leaving the company. But also, if corporations actually had to pay taxes maybe they'd start pushing on each other to stop gouging the government.

Someone will fill their shoes... That's the beauty of the free market

They'd still be profitable... At the end of the day the workers create the wealth. All we'd be doing is putting that wealth towards what we collectively agree on before anyone can take it as profit. But, there'd still be profit left over.

If they want to sell their shit in the US they have to let us audit them everywhere and tax accordingly

It's just an extra step... Everyone gets a paycheck from a corporation of some kind... Instead of hundreds of millions to deal with, the IRS could just focus on the companies

Better yet, end all taxes on individuals. Instead, all taxes should be levied against corporations, and they should cover the entire bill for a functioning society... And society should democratically decide what that entails. Tax the corporations so much that their stock prices fall back to realistic numbers. Then we won't have any of these fake billionaires who's "wealth is tied up in stocks", but also they can get loans against them. It should be very easy to get "rich" by working yourself, it should be very hard to get rich "letting your money work for you"

That's true, but where boomers are pig headed about it because they don't want to have admit younger people know more than them, I think millennials and zoomers would be much more willing to accept expert advice

So when are we starting the investigation into Ted Cruz breaking campaign finance laws? Because I believe this is him admitting he's doing that
