Which makes more sense?
1. Let the rich steal money from the poor/middle class through corporations, tax that money, put it in the hands of crooks in DC, and then send it through a government bureaucracy...

OR

2. Eliminate corporations and let the workers keep their money.

Hmmm...

I think this one is hard, don't you?

1. Wouldn't it be nice if it were that simple.

2. Actually, yes, it is that simple.

Look at the USA and then look at the Social Democratic countries, they tax away the gains of the rich, then re-distribute the money without actually taking care of the actual problem which is to allow the rich to tax the middle class/poor in the first place. If we leave a free market, but prevent people from setting up systems of taxing work they don't do, then we can assure that the amount of money someone can acquire will be checked by the fact that no one can be productive enough to be a billionaire.

A corporation is a system of making money by taking it from the people who do the work. The only people who could make millions of dollars, would be those who are more productive and produce intellectual property.
