With wealth inequality and billionaire control over American society growing ever more obscene, it’s well past time to implement a maximum wage limit.

        @desmosthenes but to go back to the first point - if they want to have a company in the US they will do it whether or not they’re resident. Can’t very easily employ thousands of Cayman Islanders in your billion dollar business. A Way would be found. But by structuring the business in such a way as to avoid whatever restrictions there are, there would at least be a small reduction in their cut. And a small reduction in billions is not insignificant. Plus… One fewer tax haven reduces options.
