Are you suggesting socialism as the answer to the issue?
I don't understand how in a place where we talk about building fortunes via startups and innovation, we also talk about stifling the very motivation for these companies to exist.
You do this, and suddenly every company moves overseas and chooses to pay taxes in another country, at which point we lose the possibility of jobs and the tax money that these companies provide.
- yequalsx 16y agoNot every company has moved out of socialist-like Sweden. There are motivations beyond just profit and profit isn't always the best form of motivation.
- nhangen 16y agoThere's a big difference in the culture of a company that was built in a socialist country versus that of one built in a capitalist country. Perhaps private companies have more wiggle room. Rather than mandating, why not buy enough stock to have an influence on company decisions?
