Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    If other nations can have billionaires and we can’t, and our country is vast and rich, we will be at a disadvantage.

    The WANT of money is corrupting itself. Actually having the money itself is not needed. People who want money will destroy your little system, and throw your country into chaos, ruination and poverty, united by a conspiracy of common interests.

    I would rather just regulate what needs regulating, within reason, with a gentle hand, and only a strong hand with the worst of violations. For the record, I would be much harsher than the us has tended to be when it comes to pollution, etc.

      No. Fuck them. They can leave.

      They will still do business in your country.

      Also countries should tax companies on money that goes out of the country based off of their overall profit. So if Google makes 10% profit over costs the. We charge them 30% tax on the money they funneled out of Australia. Done.

      Fair enough…

      I don’t think you can truely regulate any system we currently know in favour of the populace. So I take the us Vs them approach.

      Each to their own 😎
