So in your fantasy dream world all employers would be non-profit?

That of course begs the question of who would provide the initial
funding for such an organization, and how would future expansion be
funded, not to mention research and development?

The answer is that no one would since there is no motivation.

Your entirely predictable answer will be to tax the rich. How long
would there be "rich" to tax in such a scenario? Investment capital
would vanish from this country in the blink of an eye.


Man, he's a strange dude! I guess he doesn't understand how the U.S. AND
World economy works!
