If corporations paid their workers a decent hourly wage of around $15-25 and hour, then the workers could have enough money to get by. I guess the lack of decent wages for workers is a byproduct of American capitalism. Maybe Opebo is right about implementing a "one time wealth tax".

What do you mean by 'American capitalism'. In most third world countries employees are not paid a 'decent' wage (however that is defined). Whilst many of those foreign corporations will be American ones, some aren't, and vice-versa in the United States itself.

I should have said capitalism in general, as some of the byproducts of a capitalist economic system is the exploitation and subjegation of workers and the fact that many corporations worldwide employ workers at a near-starvation level wage.
