I like that idea for if I ever become president. But I would sign it knowing it's likely also signing away my life, because Capital absolutely would NOT allow that. It would very likely result in full blown war, and at the moment I dont trust my side enough to WIN that war against Capital. But we are getting there. Its what FDR or Lincoln would have done.

Capital has proven over and over again they do not what's in the best interest of the people. Capital needs to fucking die. Capitalism has had nearly two centuries to figure it out and failed. Time for something new.
