yeah, I'd be kind of surprised if #NotAllKings went viral. (it's up there with #KingsLivesMatter and similar absurdities).

The problem with #NoCapitalism is too many people have been (arguably purposefully) mis-educated about what capitalism is (and likewise for Marxism and the other critiques), but if we start hitting on the things that matter then we get stuck in the weeds

Could a “Maximum Wage” Combat Billionaire Power?

Nearly a decade after Portland passed a landmark law to reign in CEO pay, social movements should aim to replicate the city’s success across the country.

The US economy moved from a capital goods basis to a #consumer goods basis a century ago. An #economy like that needs high incomes for all to ensure the consumption rates needed. Without a #MaximumWage and a high #GuaranteedMinimumIncome, the whole thing will inevitably collapse.

There should be a maximum wage.

People want work, but they also want dignity and the ability to feed a family. If businesses can't pay people a #LivingWage, and the state can't enforce a proper #MinimumWage and #MaximumWage, they make the #socialist case for #coöps for us. The time is coming to #SeizeTheMeans.

"We could also introduce a maximum wage policy (meaning that income over a certain threshold faces a 100% rate of tax). The maximum wage could be set in proportion to a minimum wage, for example at no more than 5 times the minimum legal wage."
