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.

when the gov can run their own business without dividing a country, they can talk. until then, the gov has zero businessing telling corps how they must run.

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.

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.

Oh, so the government can do whatever they want. DERP!

Considering that the government sets the laws which govern corporations and gives them the authorization to exist, and sets the rules under which they operate, the short answer is “Yes”.

The short answer is screw you Commie.

Way to throw in the towel on a civil argument. You lose. DragonLady wins after one round. Thanks for playing

Warren isn't a Commie?
Is she an Indian again.
Hard to keep track of her BS.
You're welcome.

 

[Slade3200]

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?

Cross that bridge when we get there. Right now this bill is for the big dogs and has nothing to do with smaller companies. Why don’t you just talk about that?

The slippery slope arguments get real old

Cross that bridge when we get there.

The bridge is here. The answer is, no.
If the stakeholders want a say, they can buy some shares and vote them.

Companies making over a Billion in revenue a year carry tremendous power. And as spidey says... with great power comes great responsibility.

And as spidey says... with great power comes great responsibility.

Sounds good, the government should go first.

That’s how it’s structured, genius. That’s why we have elections

Sure with this bill employees can fuck themseleves out of job and don't even realize it ..

You can always count on looney Liz to come up with something ignorant

I have yet to see a single unemotional or well-considered response to this proposal from the right. Warren is neither “bat-shit crazy”, nor a “bitch”. She’s not a “commie” either.

Warren is a well respected legislator. One of the best. Her consumer protection legislation resulted in Wells Fargo Bank being forced to return millions of dollars to customers who were cheated by that Bank.

She’s always stood up for everyday Americans against abuses by corporate interests. Calling corporations to account is in everyone’s best interests.

Of course the right hates her. She speaks truth to power and she’s a woman.

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?

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?"

If you don’t like emotional responses then why are you making them now? Stick to substance of the bill of you want to be taken seriously. We don’t give a shit about your partisan insults towards Warren, they have nothing to do with this conversation.

I'm not emotional at all about Marxism. I have no affection for it, nor do I feel the need to defend it. Why do you?

Yep..
Same shit happened here in Houston back in 83.
They promised that all tolls would be ended when it was payed for,here we are 35 years later and still paying the ever increasing tolls.
Something similar was said about the Texas lottery.
The money was to used to fund schools and education....yeah,not so much. It became another state slush fund.

 

[iceberg]

I quite like some of these provisions. Especially the ones requiring corporations to consider the interests of employees.

Companies are free to do so already, forcing them is idiotic.

How about a two way street where the employees suffer the consequences of loss of share price? Say link their wages to the share value?

if they want to buy into the rewards then they should shoulder the risks also.
