@ veritas one of these corporations that he's shone the spotlight on for dodging taxes? funding his campaign? no. go look at his donors. the only companies involved that have been known to dodge taxes is apple and amazon, but the only donations came from individuals, not their PAC, and both of those companies have agreed to pay their taxes as of october 15'
& to the second question, corporations aren't people. but obviously there's only three ways, make a cheaper product, raise your prices, or cut jobs. |
So...those individuals have NO interest in preserving the status quo? doth they wish to cut off their noses to spite their face?
Nextly: Corporations are made up of people, and are considered a person in the eyes of the legal system, friend. which leads to my grand point: IF Bernie does do these things which harm the corporations profits (whether righteously earned or not) and they do one of those 3 things to keep their profits.....does that not end up hurting the very people he said he is trying to help?
Boof, Socialism is the economic arm of communism...and I hate to sound cliche, but it only looks good on paper. That is why cubans escape cuba to come to america, and not vice versa.
can we agree on this point?
