Tax huge fortunes, break up monopolies, share ownership with workers, raise wages and services, limit wealthy political influence, and block any one person or company from gaining outsized control, ensuring power stays widely distributed.

If a system lets a small group endlessly accumulate wealth that then generates even more wealth, while everyone else competes for whatever isn’t already captured, it’s almost guaranteed to produce oligarchs. Extreme concentration isn’t an accident. It’s the predictable outcome of letting compounding run unchecked at the top.

They exploit loopholes because the system allows it. The fix is simple: tax large asset holdings, close the loan-against-stock loophole, enforce minimum wealth taxes, and tighten rules on trusts and shell companies. Pair that with breaking up monopolies and expanding worker ownership so fortunes can’t endlessly accumulate at the top.

All of this would work probably in theory but what first would need to happen is a perfect storm where the government actually listens to us and not to the people funding them.

I just realized if the court back then put shareholder value as first. All we need is a court case of that model that does the inverse. If the admin can revisit that with department leadership under presidency in a Supreme Court case, we should have multiple class actions on shareholder value vs workers right
