It’s said every time. Until we get government that gives a shit about it’s constituents and aren’t a bunch of geriatric paycheck collectors it’s not happening.
Because since money is power, capitalism is a form of government, where 1 dollar = 1 vote. So if you make like $350 billion every year, like Google, you get that much more power to say how much companies like, say, Google, should pay in fines for breaking the law. You also get to say what the law is!
The moral of the story is: if you make around $350 billion a year, then you and google have equal say in the matter, and if you don’t, well then please pipe down and enjoy your serfdom under corporate feudalism and be happy they let you live.
Why not start using percentage of profits instead of fixed amounts?
Quick head calculations. It is less than 0.5%
