Haha. I think some of the folks in Washington have more power than the billionaires and they would be making the rules.
In terms of simple limits, let's prevent companies owning/buying/selling other companies. Or block corporate ownership or residential property. There are many other things that could reduce concentration of power. Let's ban campaign ad funding by out of state entities - including political parties.
- rglullis 5y agoI agree with all the things that you are proposing - maybe I wouldn't block corporate real estate ownership, I'd rather have "progressive property taxes", as to make it impossible to have any profit from large-scale renting - but I think that they would also be impossible to pass on Washington today. So, if we are just day dreaming, we should really go for it. :)
