  It would be, but individual businesses (particularly those with the resources of Oracle) don't like paying the taxes necessary to offer that sort of social safety net past a certain point.

    In a democracy, that is a voter issue.

        Interesting how helpless voters (and those who could vote but don't) are portrayed, especially in the age of instant access to information in everyone's pocket. Especially considering elections in recent years.

      You get a choice of not one but two horrible candidates! In a dictatorship you'd only have one. Be happy!

        That must be how democracies all over the world prevailed over dictatorships (at least for a couple hundred years).
