In addition to taxation, make them share their wealth with all of their employees. Their working people deserve the money more than the government.
Ideally, tax money would be spent by the government in a way that benefits workers.
Walmart employees get a ton of welfare money but are still mistreated. It would be better for the workers if they had a say in how the company was run, rather than getting their employment subsidized by tax money.
I was making $15/hr at Walmart over the pandemic when I just couldn’t stand to be at home anymore.
I was STILL on food stamps and had Medicaid.
It’s asinine, I’m not even mad they fucked with the heiresses boat in Ibiza.
The workers should control the means of production. Imagine if every worker owned a stake in the company they worked for and got to vote on corporate decisions...
Exactly. The higher taxes should all go to healthcare, education and housing for working class people. And the leftovers should simply become dividends to provide additional support to the neediest. Oh and if people have issues with ‘welfare checks make people lazy’ or some other BS that’s repeatedly been proven to be nothing more than racist neoliberal propaganda then use the rest to fund something like the green new deal and all the jobs that will create. Or incubators for worker co-ops which are not only more fair and democratic in terms of allocation of wealth but make this kind of exploitative elite profiteering impossible.
