So, how do governments cope and deliver economic justice for all of their citizens, not just the ones at the top?
In my view, the largest problem is big corporations playing national and state governments against eachother to wring out big tax breaks to locate/relocate facilities or to avoid paying fair income taxes. That stuff must be ended, in both the interests of all people in the world and business itself. Nationalism that is growing worldwide is serious, the current focus is on immigrants, but even rightwing extremists are starting to claim that business is screwing people. When there is agreement against business across a broad political spectrum, the physical safety of businesspeople and their ability to live in communities will be endangered, so it is in the best interest of business to stop beating down attempts to fix income inequality and work with governments to develop a working solution to the problem.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
