FDR didn’t just pull us out of the Depression. He fundamentally altered economic/banking/political rules so it wouldn’t happen again. Several decades ago we started dismantling some of the very protections that FDR created, so crony capitalists could party more. And here we are.

What we need to do is return to a time when economic justice - through fair taxation, end to most corporate subsidies, etc. - functioned in a way that encouraged a strong middle class and discouraged the creation of the tiny economic and corporate aristocracy we have now.

Maybe banning buybacks would help with that. Or taxing them if there is too much push back on completely eliminating them.

Taxation is theft. There is no such thing as fair taxation.
