Ew, no, thanks. Feels like he got this “idea” from some slop machine.
Just tax them, regulate them, fine them into bankruptcy, and sue them for crimes against humanity.
Use taxes and regulations to incentivize cooperatives and disincentivize private companies.
Tax revenue and income progressively (starting on the negatives: if you're below the mean you get money), reaching 100% for anything above 100,000$/month for individuals and 100,000$/month/employee for companies.
Scale fines with personal wealth/ valuation, so that they have the same impact regardless of wealth.
Tax and regulate the stock exchange like the gambling joint that it is.
Hold CEOs, boards, and stockholders personally responsible for any crimes or torts committed by their companies.
Nationalise any companies that provide first needs or anything remotely resembling a utility, and turn them into cooperatives.
Tax 100% of any wealth over, say, ten times the mean.
I don't know, there's so many better things to do than spreading this cancer over all the population. All this would do is make it hit harder once the bubble pops.
