Progressive Politics

I feel like we're conflating individual, personal wealth with corporate valuations in this thread. Yeah, 100 million is way more than enough for a single person obviously, but for a corporation it's tough to even say what that amount means.

If we're still even doing corporations, I feel they should be evaluated and tracked by the proper authorities (aka, we the people) and given the appropriate treatment based on what that entity existing even entails.

If we decide your corporation is a net benefit to society, maybe we'll relax things a bit. If you give up top-down hierarchy, turn your org over to the workers, and provide something that enhances the public good, maybe we let you cook, ya know? But know that the people are always watching and reporting in.

Conversely, if we decide your little corporate fiefdom is a leech, yeah, we're going to keep you on a short fuckin leash, you'll be under the microscope and progressively taxed and picked apart until that entity dies, unless and until you clean up your act and keep it clean long enough - then you get to play with the big dogs that are doing it right and allowed to exist and even thrive.

I'd rather see no corporations at all, at least not in their current form, but this doesn't seem too bad as an intermediate step on the way there.
