A business of any size should attempt to be a good neighbor to the rest of the population. But it should not take a new law to force it.

RE:”Venezuela is proof-positive of how good socialism is.
No medicine. No food. No electricity.No water.
Pretty soon, there’ll be no air.”

Yeah but at least greedy corporations are not making huge profits off of selling those things there.
That would be obscene .. What matters most is fairness.

Here comes Lizzie Warren, the self proclaimed rock thrower.

This has been done before.
It was called Fasism.

Warren’s legislative proposal is just socialism by any other name.

“As noted by Vox, the senator essentially wants to require corporations to have the same responsibilities under the social contract as the average U.S. citizen.”

“As the average U.S. citizen”??? What in the hell is the Vox author talking about? You’re welfare is my legal responsibility, above my fiduciary responsibilities to my own family???

Liz ( Pocahontas ) Warren will make sure that the government takes care of them if we all support her.

Yes, Warren’s plan is the opposite of “skin in the game”.

Nassim Taleb tells the story of the Hammurabi Code in Ancient Persia where an architect who designed a bridge was forced to have his family live under that bridge.

Warren is a pure Stalinist — more danger than Bernie in my opinion.

One of the better moves Trump made recently was to take over management of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), an completely unaccountable federal agency that fining corporation and contributing the fines to Progressive interest groups.

Mulvaney came in there and stopped them.
