  They didn’t fight in two world wars to not be given free money.

  Yeah, except it’s the rich assholes in power that would have to pass that kind of reform.

  Sad thing with doing that, is they will be screwed over. Cool beans, but it won’t go away and you’ll be double screwed over. It won’t fix anything for the next generations. These billion dollar companies need not exist anymore. They do nothing but harm anything they infect
