      Today marks the date in the calendar when the bosses of the biggest companies have already made more money in just the first few days of the year than those who work for them will make in the whole year. It doesn’t have to be this way. Here, in 2 mins, is How to Fight Inequality.pic.twitter.com/8G6PNWlBpa

          Corporate capitalism(investor pilfering) NOT democratic. Employee, family owned, community, entrepreneur owned, etc consistent w common good. answer is to dismantle corporate state/restore economic rights locally with democratic credit. That will empower every human being.
