    They could go to any bank and leverage that asset for a loan for more than everyone who posts on this platform will make in their lifetimes no problem. That is a nonsense talking point

      What’s your point? So because they can leverage their ownership of their own company we need to take away that ownership?

          I don’t think the stock market should be determining if we take away companies from their owners, no matter how much it’s worth. Why does having more wealth than a certain size city matter? Especially if your company has more employees and customers than even a large city?

            Especially if your company has more employees and customers than even a large city?

            Why do those employees get the bare minimum? Why are the working majority excluded from ownership and decision-making in the companies they run?

              Employees are allowed to buy company stock and vote using it just like anyone else. Many companies even have employee stock purchase programs. What’s the problem ?
