Maybe you would , maybe you wouldn’t . It all depends on what is your priorities. I believe this campaign is aimed at the large corporate’s that pay crazy CEO salariies for them to show up at 12 meetings a year. while their employees can’t even get health care or feed their family on what they earn. I know people don’t like the idea of sharing because some how they call it socialiism but when people go to church they share with people they don’t even know, and no one calls it socialism. we so why is it so hard for employers to share with people they do know that work for them.? Or maybe we should become even more ruthless and selfish and ban religion and believes of giving all together so we can make the CEO’s even richer. When our county started and was being built there were many that became rich and in the 1800′s those people gave back to their communities by building schools, hospitals, museums, that doesn’t happen anymore the new wealth are to greedy and have no Morale consciences.

@Mark. That old song and dance has been sung to death. Frankly, I think we could give back money to corporations and they still wouldn’t create jobs. Oops! That’s right, that’s been done. GE, among others, paid no income taxes, others got billions of tax dollars returned to them. Still no jobs. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me for 40 years, shame on me!

Obviously you have never been involved in a business. GE paid millions if not billions in Social security and Medicare taxes; they have to match whatever the employee pays. They also pay property taxes wherever they have buildings, I am sure this is more in one year then you will make in 100 lifetimes. Many states also have sales and use taxes. Unemployment, dislocated worker and the tax list they pay goes on and on. A properly managed business should never pay taxes on profit as the money should be dispersed to stockholders, board members and employees who pay billions in taxes on the money.

@Doug T. You obviously do not understand that the U.S. economy is driven by consumerism. Didn’t you miss Bush I and II asking us to buy socks etc? Anyway, the consumers are basically the middle class who drive the economy and pay the taxes. (History 101, prosperity during the Eisenhower years when the rich were taxed at 91% and the middle class greatly expanded and consumerism greatly expanded). So, for over 30 years now the middle class has faced rampant unemployment, stagnating wages, and job outsourcing. No wonder they aren’t consuming as much. thus, the economy is down. Here’s a novel idea from Henry Ford the first, pay your workers enough so they can purchase your product. Here’s yet another novel idea, hire more workers (giving you a deduction for the wages), pay them a living wage and provide benefits and some job security, and watch demand for goods and services go up. Keith Ellison is absolutely on the right track. Your golden goose is on its last legs unless you start INVESTING in America and being a loyal American.

He’s black and a Democrat and hangs out with murderers. Perfect for Mpls voters.

How can 1,000 families in American own and control 98% of the wealth? And the other 120,000,000 families have to scrape by on 2% and pay most of the taxes and support for America?

So, Tony, how is fair that 1,000 families in American control 98% of the wealth?

If you had your own business, which I doubt you would understand the business tax structure.

Hey, no problem, Job Creator. We can take the age limit off Medicare and sign everyone up, have a single payor plan, eliminate a lot of administrative paperwork (Medicare only has .9 of 1% for administrative costs), and get everyone taken care of. Do you have a different solution? Then we can pass a flow-through tax (the corporate income tax is largely defunct anyway) to get the rich paying on all their corporate income. That should take care of some of the problems.
