Fucking billionaires should be taxed out of existence.

And since corporations* are people, they can and should be jailed when they break the law.

Citizens are jailed all the time, did you mean corporations?

But Republicans CARE about the Working Class! Why do Corporations think the Republican Supreme Court that's openly taking their Bribes would DESTROY the Working Class?

I hear the general sentiment against billionaire and corporations but from game theory point of view what they are doing is the rational behavior.

The problem is not them doing this, the problem is that the system (judiciary system in this case) is not neutral as it is supposed to be.

The problem, though, is that it's short sighted. If the workers are abused less and less business opportunities there are. In other words on the short term the corporations win, on the long term everyone loses.

A single billionaire, overall, can spend less than 1000 millionaires that can spend less than 10 ppl that make 100k/y

Yeah that's the Republicans. Destroy everything people like, then blame immigrants and gays.
