    What about raising the tax so that increased pay for the employees increases the amount of deductibles for the company which in turn reduces the actual tax they have to pay?
    Has that ever been tried before?
    Maybe some decades ago?
    …before Reagan?

        Nah, I’d rather explain it to a brick wall, which is less stubborn and won’t shoot me, because I challenge some beliefs.

        They want the power to do whatever they will while enjoying the protections of the publicly funded state against anyone who might try to stop them.

        And for the most part they get it. But their power isn’t total yet. We still have a window of possibility.
