$500 Billion. About one month of our annual budget. Everything counts, but gonna have to do a lot more than that.

Now a show of hands... who favors increased tariffs? And the reason why or why not.

Because prices are still regulated by the market place.

& at least one employee should sit on the board.

I know very little about the man or if he lives up to his words, but Richard Branson once said your customers aren't your most important people, your employees are & if you treat your employees right, they'll treat your customers right. A lot of companies don't see employees as an asset anymore. I worked for a company that showed amazing appreciation to their employees & I had friends constantly asking me about openings there.

A common argument against raising corporate taxes is that they'll just raise the prices on consumers, but I say they're gonna do that anyway, as evidenced by the extreme price gouging since the pandemic, so we just as well get something from it, right? Corporations are paper entities that enable rich people to behave irresponsibly without risking their personal wealth.

All enterprises must convert to worker owned co-operatives.
Set a maximum INHERITANCE of $100 million;
an individual's maximum annual INCOME of $25 million;
limit an individual's private WEALTH to $900 million.

After 999 million; you pay 100% tax to fund healthcare and education on any excess and they hand you an “I won capitalism” trophy and a plaque on a bench in a dog park in your birth city.

It's not as clever as you seem to think.

In the business world... prices of any good or service are based on the "cost of goods"

Your typical Corporation might have 100+ components that make up cost of goods. Stuff like item cost, transport cost, labor cost, regulatory costs, taxes and tariffs.

Every business prices it's goods based on this and functionally... there is no difference between tariffs and taxes.

I expect those in favor of Corporate Taxation are also in favor of tariffs... right?

Both are paid by the consumer OR vendors, employees or shareholders of the Corporation.

And the $$ goes into the General Fund.

in order to try to offset their supposed loss by having to pay their fair share of taxes and be responsible to society and the people who made them rich and who keep them rich.Unfettered capitalism is a disaster and results in a gov controlled only by the very wealthy and often leads to dictatorships.

Another area that needs control is pricing of pharmaceuticals and healthcare. It can all be done. Doctors on salary etc. My Uncle was a pulmonologist in Canada for many years. He made a very good living and was head of a hospital dept for years also. He didn't go into it to become very wealthy but to help people and he was a great doctor.
