Somebody who understands economics shows the commies on Wall Street why they're idiots.

Rather hysterical to call them commies. They are not advocating the violent overthrow of the government, nor, it seems, total nationalization of the means of production.

I'm pro capitalism, I'm anti corporate greed and corruption.

So how do you enforce this 'anti corporate greed and corruption'?



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Generally, the answer usually resolves to anti-capitalist interventions and regulations.

Corruption exists when there is a sub-optimal allocation of capital, and can be masked by subsidation.

 

BTW, watched most of the video. Schiff totally bamboozles them. The people debating him don't know what they are even talking about. One guy alludes to Adam Smith saying he favored government intervention, yet a quick browse in Google says he believed the opposite. Crazy uninformed rubes.

-Revoke corporate personhood

-Public funding for elections (funded by a tax that would itself be lower than the amount of money large companies probably waste on rent-seeking)

-Lowered corporate tax rates across the board that are offset by a ban on all possible tax loopholes or, barring that

-VAT in lieu of a corporate tax, gauged at a level to bring in equal revenue from US-based companies as well as additional revenue from pure imports

How do the last two effect greed or corruption, exactly?
