There are times when I hope we will somehow find a peaceful and constructive way out of this mess we have been given as the political and economic status quo. Then there are times when I think the only way out is to just let the old system collapse under its own weight.

So higher corporate tax? I can live with that.

The megacorporations rely on taxes for direct and indirect subsidies though. Just let that dry up. No more protectionism. Watch them flounder. Much more entertaining.

Sadly I don't think we are going to go this way, considering that megacorps are friends with the current administration.
