      The issue isnt what the customer is paying, its how much the company is giving back to their workers. The executive class takes an inordinate chunk of corporate profit for doing the equivalent of squatting on IP. Its fine to live in a SOCIETY where we buy and sell goods for profit, but im not gonna be satisfied with the gods and serfs system of wealth inequality we have now

      Here in AMERICA we know the value of hard work, and we make sure each man, woman, and nonbinary is rewarded justly for their skills and time. We don’t let some bigshot city-slicking CEO take away the value of our hard work and give a fraction back to us in a tiny paycheck, no siree. This is a Christian nation, and that means we pay our union dues and reap our union rewards. And if the elites don’t like it, well they can kiss the barrel of my second-amendment-protected guns.
