My oh my...Wall Street doesn't like Warren. They surely can't like Sanders

What will they do... (probably Clinton rides in on her black horse)

[Pearls Before Swine]

So, the workers will own 45% of the means of production.

Instant half-communism.

[Reno89519]

How about his 97% tax on wealthy Americans?

[Starboard]

Its almost as if Warren and Sanders are campaigning for Hellery.

[silverleaf]

Hmmm, lets really look at German economic history and what made it successful.

Ban stock buybacks? Can’t tell corporations how best to deploy their capital. Typical socialist.

Who remembers the "Luxury tax" in the 1980s? I was living in South Jersey at the time and it almost destroyed Viking Yacht,a boat building plant down the road from me.

...established Bureau of Corporate Governance at the Department of Commerce. This new federal charter will require corporate boards to consider the interests of all of the stakeholders in a company – including workers, customers, shareholders, and the communities in which the corporation operates.

Yep, that's what business needs: Another bureaucracy that addresses all "interests" of stakeholders in the company. So, if you miss your cat during the day, the company might be forced to have day care for cats and time off during the work day to visit your cat. Bernie: Clearly you've never worked in your life for a profit-based company.

This sounds like something right out of “Atlas Shrugged”

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Bernie hates capitalism. His “plan” would destroy retirement plans and pension funds.

His “for the workers” rhetoric is a parasitic scam for low information imbeciles and hate-America radicals.

[beethovenfan]

What a moron.

[dangus]

Banning stock buy-backs is a stupid idea if you stand for the worker, “corporate responsibility,” or hostile takeovers. Buy-backs is how ownership reasserts its control, so it can take actions beyond the “five-year horizon” of fiduciary responsibility to stockholders.

[Buckeye McFrog]

He is correct that this is the way it’s been done in Germany since the end of WW II.

BTW, it was OUR idea. The occupation force felt that by democratizing EVERYTHING the likelihood of the rise of another Hitler would greatly diminished.

[sphinx]

The timing on implementation would be crucial. Bernie would need to effect his takeover before most large corporations had a chance to go offshore.

[Jimmy The Snake]

Her black horse painted white for the occasions.

[RWGinger]

Using Germany’s economy as an example makes Bernie look like the fool he is

[Spruce]

There was a time when we would have thrown a commie asshole like this out of the country

[D Rider]

So money that is working and supplying jobs will be confiscated and given to those that offer no return on investment. Sounds like winner to me. Venezuela here we come!

[RatRipper]

Sanders, Warren and Beto are criminally insane

[xzins]

Absolutely ignorant. A company owning more of its shares gives it greater control over its own business and is incentive to become more productive. With fewer shares the dividends are higher and fewer shares increases the value of a stock on the market.

Buybacks get bought back from shareholders, so the company is coming to me saying, “We’ll give you $100 for your share.” If I like that price, then I’ll end up getting all my money out. So, the buyback money comes to us.

That’s all good common sense and basic capitalism at work.

"Bernie Sanders unveils plan to raise corporate tax rate to 35% and ban stock buybacks.

I don't how this one even manages to breathe..
