> Was a time in America where we had capitalism but every dollar over like $10 mill was taxed at near 100% -- that CEO's would instead pay their employees more, or hire new ones and grow the company instead of pad their pockets. Like... are you honestly so fucking lacking in integrity that you could not bother looking this shit up before puking this garbage here? > over like $10 mill This number is PURE bullshit. That's not how it worked.

Stop puking whatever your college professor shoved into your head and think for yourself for a minute. Take 100% of every Fortune 5000 CEO's income and divide that number by the number of people they collectively employ. How much more money do you think each employee would get? 1000 dollar more / month? 10 000 per year? If you believe so then you are as lost as your friend Bernie. Plenty of economists have made those calculations and once you look into them you realize that this argument makes no fucking sense and it is just a talking point to rally you into voting for democrats. The average worker would get no substantial or life-changing increase in income if you distribute the CEO income by the number of employees their corporations have. > This is what I hoped for when Bernie Sanders lost Bernie didn't lose. Bernie sold you out. He repackaged, shuffled and sold you to the most corrupt politician of modern times. Yet here you are shouting THIS THIS THIS. You are being fingered by your candidate. The sooner you realize that the better you'll be able to sleep. > Trump is king, and America's going to shit pretty darn fast No it won't. The president doesn't change much. It's a democracy not an autocracy. Get fucking real already and stop with the hyperbolic bullshit.
