This is the mistake that Hugo Chavez made. He turned over businesses to
the workers but didn't train any of them to be a manager. You have to
find the individual who will naturally be good at it and train them. I
would also suggest a quick workshop for everyone in the business to find
replacements and to keep check on the manager.
What we are moving towards is a society of oligarchs running things and
everyone else is their servant. That's very oppressive and should not
be tolerated in any way whatsoever.

Management skills are simple. They can be taught in a few short
hours. The balls to apply them is the hard part. The uber rich are
often all balls and no reason. They just plow ahead like Mac truck
slamming through a store and leaving a mess in it's wake. A massive
correction is needed for the big party the uber rich have had and left
the hotel room trashed.

You can give many people millions of dollars and in a few short years
they are broke again.
You can't give wisdom or management skills. They are learned.

The uber-wealthy share of taxes paid is down to 17% of their income.
I never paid a tax rate that low. Ever. Considering that they control
25% of the wealth of the entire country, they ought to pay much more
than 17%. That is obscene. And the reason I refer to it mental
illness, is that they have cornered not only this staggering amount
of wealth, but the entire country is now rigged to increase their
wealth, at our expense.
We are not talking about a wealth of millions of dollars, a sum that
would make the rest of us unimaginably rich. No, these are all
multi-billionaires. A billion dollars is equal to a person living to
a hundred years of age, and spending ten million dollars annually,
nearly a million bucks a month, from infancy. That is just ONE
billion. Incomprehensible.
Any time there is a bump in the economy, who benefits? The rest of
us, who haven't seen wages rise in 55 years? Nope. Always the wealthy.
We keep hearing from the servants of the rich, the media and
politicians, how we are a mighty and wealthy country, a world super
power, and yet the game is now so strongly rigged *against* the
efforts of the populace to get ahead, to have stable, prosperous
lives, that no one is listening.
This could be easily fixed, by bumping the rate on taxable
investments to say, 30 to 40%, what the middle class typically pays
of its stagnant wages to the Feds in taxes. Close some loopholes too.
I am not asking the one percent to contribute unfairly, only to the
degree that the rest of us do. There should not be this unspoken
rule, that once we achieve a certain level of wealth, we are then
above the law. The truly galling thing about this, is the rich would
never miss it, wouldn't even notice.

The wealthy pay less in taxes? C'mon now! The top 10% pay 70% of tax
revenues. The remaining 90% pay 30%, while 47% pay next to nothing.
66% of spending is on Social programs i.e. SS, Medicare , Medicaid,
Welfair, CHIP, etc. The remaining 34% is on the military and the cost
of running the government and various discretionary spending.

Its deeper than that. All of those voting have watched their parents
work hard without getting ahead, and profits skimmed by the wealthy
who pay less taxes. In addition, the 1.2 trillion in student debt
hampers many graduates the chance for a fresh start, and they are the
group supposedly driving the economy. Its a rigged system, now more
than ever, and the incremental change offered by all of the
candidates except Sanders, amounts to treating the symptoms but not
curing the underlying cancer of growing economic inequality.
Your quote by Benjamin Franklin is spot on, in light of all the crony
capitalism going on, off shoring profits to avoid taxes, while
pointing the finger at someone collecting food-stamps, or throwing
people out of jobs that go overseas, and then complaining about them
collecting unemployment for too many weeks. That kind of greed is a
mental illness and must be stopped for the good of us all.

Bernsie wants to offer *free* higher education to all. Hillary just
wants you to pay lower interest rates on your student loans. If you
were a student, who would you vote for?
When the people discover that they can vote themselves money, that
will herald the end of the republic.

You know, he makes some excellent points. It is true that Hillary is
not a great campaigner and she gets defensive, which doesn't come
across well all the time. Politically, neither her logo or her
slogan say it's about the people. They say it's about her. It is
true that Trump will do everything he can to lynch her and he won't
let up. If she defends, she loses. He will continue to play on
people's fear and she will be facing plenty of sexism, the kind that
isn't talked about, but that surely exists in the minds of both men
and women. The undermining has already started and has been quite
effective. I will agree that the more interesting match that would
force us to choose ideologically would be a Sanders/Trump choice.
SuperTuesday is around the corner.
