I wonder why the left dislikes comrade tucker


he is actively calling out their anti-white racism, its become such a cornerstone of radical leftist ideology that its too large of a hurdle for them to overcome

I read somewhere that the waltons help their employees sign up for welfare, then give them a 10% discount so they spend their welfare money at walmart.
Real issue i see with this is if you want to compete with walmart you would have to offer hourly rate + hours that make up for walmart job + food stamps etc.

Ideally we would then raise taxes on them to compensate. We could even do a special corporate tax based on percent of employees using welfare systems to cover it.

but that would get WalMart to donate a billion dollars to your opponent in your next election if you supported it, so good luck.

The era of crowdfunding might invoke positive change in this regard. Over the past few election cycles, we've had a ton of races in which both sides were flush with cash and had more money than they could reasonably spend. Since campaign spending has diminishing returns, this levels the playing field and reduces the sway of the donor class.

'We' as in 'we, the observers of politics'.

Side note: money plays far less of a decisive role for political campaigns in Germany, yet our political leadership has "miraculously" ended up consisting of the servants of corporate interests for literally decades too - we're just coming from a different starting point, we have a more girthy social safety net and axing it would be politically toxic. Still, I'd have to go back something like 40 years to find any significant political decision in Germany that meaningfully hurt the super rich.

The wealthy have more than one tool at their disposal to influence politics. Money is a significant one, but not nearly the only one.

Pretty much the whole world followed Reagan's bullshit "deregulate and everything will be fine" mantra so I'm not surprised you have a similar situation in Germany.
