If it was a simple as forcing people to live by the same rules, it would have happened by now. But any human system is inherently flawed because it has humans in it. Corruptible, bribe able, blackmail able, selfish humans, and the systems integrity cannot be guaranteed when enough corrupt individuals exist that nothing tangible will occur. It's why the Democrats are fighting to keep the status quo, and Republicans act like things were better at some intangible point in our past, Corrupt. We have reached the point where the rules are being broken, no one in power will raise more than a finger wag against them. The Consequences fall on the actual owners. We the people. Billionaires(and up) are not a race, they are not a species, they do not deserve special treatment over any regular person, because that's all they are, a regular ass person. Unfortunately with the billionaires writing the laws, rules, and paying whatever "feels" right for everything, everything else suffers. They had a chance to pay corp taxes, they lobbied and had it changed, they had a chance to pay good wages instead they got in bed with blackrock to ensure their wages stayed just low enough their "well paid" technical employees couldn't afford a home, maybe a mobile home. They had chance after chance. It's not "they had it coming". What other damned option does any of us have at this point? My step mom died from cancer after working most of her life, medical bills took everything she had saved and a fair chunk of what my dad for retirement. What they paid in medical bills was probably equal to what a low paid CEO makes in a year. What other options do we have?!?! Actions. Consequences.
