I have no illusions here. Gates has money because people buy his operating system. Buffett has money because people buy products from the companies he owns in his holding company, Berkshire Hathaway. You don't think they cannot be hurt?
I've been in investments for over 20 years managing people's money. I know what happened to all of those "green funds" that attracted money to ease guilt, but were horrible performers to the investors in them. I'm not talking about doing that. I'm talking about taking capital away from leftists, and giving it to corporations, and states who share our principles of free markets and low taxation. Free market caitalists would tend to be better companies to invest in anyway, from a return standpoint.
I'm also talking about a revolution where we publically announce our intentions, and make it clear to those who suffer from our decisions exactly why we are doing what we are doing.
Call it a capitalistic slap up-side the head.
I’m late getting back to you on this thread but I went to bed early last night as it was obvious the election was over after Ohio.
Your idea of funneling funds to firms and states that support free markets will only work if that’s where investors can make money. Unfortunately, the socialists now hold the purse strings and there may be more money to be made in businesses favored by redistributionists. If that’s the case, that’s where the investment money will flow.
I still maintain no businessman will entertain the idea of destroying his own business (Ayn Rand’s premise) for the sake of principle not to mention that businesses owned by the stockholders would and could put a CEO in jail for such a thing.
On the other hand, I feel confident that the taxes and regulations planned by the Dems will effectively do the same thing you suggest. The question then is, will the American public realize what’s going on or will they succumb to more crises created by the politicians and allow further nationalization of the economy. I think the latter is the case. Voters aren’t well enough versed in economics to realize when they’re getting rolled. I’m betting either the energy producing industry or the electricity industry will be next after a sufficient decline in power production engineered by the Dems.
It will take a lot less than imagined to put the Zero Administration on the defense when it comes to raising taxes. How about skipping Christmas, except for religious services? No gifts, no mail for the post office to deliver, no excessive food feasts or travel, no twinkling lights burning dirty coal, and all that Christmas decor rotting on store shelves. The big business that elected Z will blink hard and fast over this redistribution baloney.
