    I believe it would be corrupted to target laborers and the hyper wealthy do not get their money from wages.

      Americans need to relearn how to protest, and how to get the boot out of their mouth during primaries. Otherwise everything will be used against the working class while giving the owner class full socialism.

      With that said, one of the ways you organize is by pushing for laws in an honest manner. If you just stay negative, people stay home. They want solutions, not problems.

        I didn’t say anything about America, I think the concept would occur anywhere. As another said, robber barons are the real problem, and they do so through other financial vehicles/ means.

          The remedy remains the same. There are countries where imposing it on the working class would not work because the working class would fill the streets.

            I’ll agree to that sure.

            My overall point is that to improve the conditions of the working class, other techniques would be more durable, and more safe, such as getting the hyper wealthy to pay their taxes, or getting laborers a greater stake in the profits of the company where they work.

              Oh I agree this puts a lot of faith in the government when workers are perfectly capable of owning the factory they work in.
