Elizabeth Warren's New Bill Aims to Reinvent U.S. Capitalism


U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has a plan to rewrite the rules for large U.S. businesses--and it's a provocative one.

The Democratic Senator from Massachusetts is introducing a new bill on Wednesday that would require corporate executives "to consider the interests of all major stakeholders in company decisions--not only shareholders," Warren wrote an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal. The Accountable Capitalism Act would require companies with more than $1 billion in annual revenue--including Facebook, Google, and Amazon--to comply with a federal charter that looks out for workers' interests. Currently, U.S. businesses secure corporation charters from states, not on the federal level.

One of the biggest changes that the bill proposes is for employees to elect at least 40 percent of board directors. The bill also seeks to impose limits on when executives can sell company shares. Directors and officers would have to hold shares for five years before
selling them, or in the case of a company stock buyback, three years. Warren's bill also takes aim at political contributions by requiring approval for all political expenditures from at least 75 percent of shareholders.

What good ever comes of turning the economy over to people who never worked an honest day in their life?

Did you read the bill? How in the world do you figure that she is trying to take over companies?!

Because she is a Marxist and her entire party is committed to Marxism.

That’s an emotional presumption. How about you point to the elements of the actual bill to make your case instead of subscribing intent through your bias and distain for her?

Marxism like Snowflakism is an Emotional Response to "Why the Fuck am I so Lazy and Don't have more shit like my hard working neighbor?"

 

[Claudette]

Sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me.

This could drive many companies out of business and leave workers holding the bag.

What a load of shit.

 

[The Original Tree]

Marxism is the Stormy Daniels' Equivalent of being given a Government Issued Horse Sized Vibrator without the Batteries.

And if you want The Batteries, you have to go through an Anal Cavity Search, and an IRS Audit.

Now, most Liberals, Democrats, & Stormy Daniels would totally love that.

Most Freedom Loving Americans would not.

You want some say in company decisions, buy some shares.
Otherwise, fuck-off comrade.

Sounds good, as long as you need a 75% vote to add new laws.
Oh, yeah, old laws all sunset after 10 years. Deal?

The government wouldn't run it, all I see is a badly needed increase in employee power. The middle class is sinking into poverty too much.

It would force companies to take into account "stakeholders" which is basically everyone. The government as a regulator is a stakeholder, and if some stakeholder decided it was being ignored they could sue.

It would basically make companies unmanageable.

Employees are free to form employee run companies if they want to, forcing everyone to do so is stupid.

You realize this bill only applies the companies that make over $1 billion in annual revenue right?

And they never take a stupid law and expand it to cover more companies. Right?

 

[Ridgerunner]

The corporations wouldn’t even exist if not for the government which authorized the incorporation and established the laws under which they function in the first place. Corporations are the creation of government and as such the government has every right to set the rules and laws which govern them.

Corporations are the biggest users of government infrastructure and services in the country.

In order for corporations to be successful, they require an educated work force, a stable and secure government, and protection for intellectual property and inventions. All of which are provided by government.

You are aware of who the "Government" is right...
