Bat shit crazy Elizabeth is at it again, now she wants to take over companies.

[irosie91]

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 not help "the middle class" whoever you are. It would not
help anyone

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.

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?

Give a liberal and inch they will take a mile, I am still waiting for the Illinois democrats 1960's promise that toll roads would be closed in a decade or so after the highway bonds were paid off.

Never happened.

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.

They did the same thing in Ohio. They promised the taxpayers if we approved the toll road and paid the tolls, that the Ohio Turnpike would be free to drive in a few years. After they reached that mark and declared that it had paid for itself and even turned a profit, the politicians decided......oops we lied...

SORRY

 

[LeeOnLido]

This sounds like something the new democrat socialists would do.

why hasnt she wrote a bill regarding young students lying about thier race/heritage to sneak into a college?

 

[Slade3200]

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

The government can't get their own shit straight and you want this idiot Warren to have more power over corporations? No thanks. Buh-bye.

Did I ever say that I wanted Warren to have more power over corporations? Care to show where I said that? Try thinking a little more before you post.

[Slade3200]

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.

You are all kinds of confused. Haha

Warren is an assclown, no confusion on that.

You aren’t proving to be much different? Why are all your posts about Warren and not about the substance of the bill?

What about the plan do you not like?

You support the legislation and have spent the entire thread defending it.

Therefore, you get a government issued horse sized vibrator without the batteries.

 

[Slade3200]

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?

Your emotional talking about Warren instead of the substance of the bill. That’s pretty weak and hypocritical given your recent critiques.

I’m not defending Marxism. That’s another one of your emotional presumptions

I have no feelings about Warren other than she is a lunatic and a phoney and a Marxist.

If she dies or lives I care not. She is only worthy of ridicule. But I am no feelings at all about her.

You however have spent this entire thread defending the moonbat nutcase and her bill.
