@QasimRashid well and of course a wealth tax.

@QasimRashid 9.1M? That must be the lowest package in the history of the F100. Your rant is kinda pointless. LUV is publicly traded , means you probably hold its shares via your 401k. The fund manager of your 401k is interested in making friends among the superrich thus they vote in their favor. Solution? Stop buying funds in 401k and lobby the feds to sell annuities.

@rbreich How do you get pigs off the trough?

@Charlobo Thank you it works.

@rbreich Mergers are a huge problem for a market driven economy as they shift incremental power to the merged entity. Its rarely full on monopolistic power but its a shift against the consumer nonetheless. But these corporations are being carried by our 401ks and thats where the real problem lies. We cannot go after corpotations currently as we would go after ourselves. Fortunately there is an easy solution. The US government should start selling annuities .

@rbreich We have had an uncoordinated conspiracy of pretty much everyone to jump on the price gouging bandwagon. Unfortunately the only thing government can and should do is tax those profits and consumers need to hold back demand.

@rbreich Not sure on what data you base this naive? opinion on. Yes they dont produce widgets but without the capital/money to buy a widget machine noone does. Now that they got an earned interest tax loophole thats a gigantic scandal. That they exist is not.

@rbreich what do you think about public sector unions?

@Nanakim when will you realize that you being upset about them not being upset is fueling them
