Rally, you're the guy who imagines a utopia. Per you, BoDs look out for the bottom line, which you earlier said means paying workers the minimum and taking profit at every opportunity. Now you want that to have an exception, to make your fantasy tax work. Utopia because the BoD really has a heart of gold. They find some capital, and for no performance related reason, they'll give it to workers instead of taking profit or issuing dividends or even making a corporate investment - they'll just pay workers more, because they found some money. If you had even a smidgen of cognizance, you'd feel dissonant. It's just like your moronic ammosexual hero fantasy. You want it both ways, and can't even see how it fucks your argument over. Typical conservative Christian, full of so many lies you even lie to yourself. Cheeses swept. smh I can't figure out whether you're being deliberately stupid or if you really are that stupid.

What happened to airline tickets when gas went up to around $4 a gallon? The prices went up, that's what. What happened now that gas prices are down to around $1.50 a gallon? They stayed up, that's what.
Tell me again how these guys will "give back" when their expenses get reduced.

Truly the airplane people seem to have something special going on with respect to supply and demand. I think I remember reading something about having had a lot of airplanes taken out of service because of the hardships the companies were suffering at the hands of the fuels people, and now there's a lack of equipment that supposedly limits seat availability and so allows the "supply" part of the supply and demand to be artificially low. But don't quote me, 'cuz I read it quite some time ago and don't remember the particulars for-sure accurately. OTOH, look at how the gasoline industry itself has in fact given back to the public because of their glut of supply of product due to the drilling of the Bakkan oil fields in N. Dakota. They are awash. Now, if they could just keep the price of gas at $3.50 / gallon, couldn't they make vastly more money than they are now? They could if they could sell it, but what will happen is that the station on the opposite corner of the intersection is getting the same cheap product and, to capture more of the market, lowers his price from $3.50 to $3.49. Everyone flocks to his gas station and the greedy guy at $3.50 makes less money because many fewer people are now buying his product. But since he's getting his gas for $1.14 a gallon, he can sell it for as little as, say $1.19 and have enough left over after the hordes of people flock to his station to buy gas to be able to buy food, clothes, etc. and live fairly well by selling 20,000 gallons a day at a profit of 4.5 cents a gallon.

If prosperity for all relied on a little more in the paycheck, why don't they just pay their workers more and reap the long term rewards?

Seems to have some good points. Hazy how he expects to sell shares in publicly held companies when we cannot expect the company to try to make maximum dividends for us, the shareholders. Abolish publicly held companies? Then where do big businesses get the $$$ to expand? Banks? A world of proprietorships and partnerships might be better, who knows? Is this what Occupy Wall Street was wanting? I could never tell from the news accounts what the H they wanted. I even toyed with the idea of traveling up there and asking them. They seemed fairly ludicrous, seemingly advocating the destruction of capitalism, but doing it on smartphones and computers that wouldn't exist without the efforts of capitalism. The dumbest idea in the USA is the Federal Income Taxes, but this seems to compete.
