We need to expand the size of government. |
|
It's clear to me that corporations find it far more profitable to hire workers from depressed economies. This leaves more and more Americans living on the edge of poverty and below. The once strong middle class is shrinking by the day.
I say nationalize the banks, nationalize the oil companies, nationalize the entire healthcare industry, nationalize the Chamber of Commerce, nationalize all the IT industry, nationalize Coca-Cola and Pepsi, and provide this population with some decent jobs at a living wage. That would put an abrupt ending to this age of unbridled greed and monopolistic dominance by big corporations. Big government, not big corporations. I'd nationalize Wall Street and appoint a GS-12 to be the new CEO at Goldman Sachs.

2. Break up the large corporations |
|
Make it so that companies are restricted to operating in their home state, possibly some border states (particularly if you're located in a small state). Also, if you're a US-based company, and you do most of your business in the US, then you must use US workers. Add to that the right for all workers to engage in collective bargaining.
