“Billionaire seems to be making better decisions.”
Don’t buy into that. Otherwise we’ll soon have a dictator who gets things “done”. Part of the problem with democratic governments not working well is that the system gets manipulated by rich guys pushing their personal agenda.
So you suggest taking power away from CEOs, putting into the hands of the government (effectively making it the CEO) which has police, military, and prisons? That is how you get a dictator.
Between CEOs and governments, which has a historically higher body count? Who's jailed more people for not agreeing with them?
You say the problem with democratic governments not working well is that it gets manipulated by rich guys.
What happens when big business and government are the same thing? That makes for even easier corruption.
What you have right now is crony capitalism, where CEOs have a massive influence over government, and use that to enact their agendas (corporate socialism). We're already at big business and government being the same thing.
I don't see anyone in this thread suggesting putting more power into the hands of the government. How about we let the billionaires spend money on the causes they want and just stay out of it (NO tax breaks). That's actually less government.
