I thought the same - but it started to pull me in - hearing all this stuff about corporations and their greed.

It smacks of all the same dodgy corporate actions that caused the GFC in 2007 to 2009 - costing countries and their taxpayers billions if not trillions plus the taxpayer bailouts that were handed out - wasted as bonuses for the very bastards that caused the problem.

Very few if any of the Corporate big whigs faced jail time - only some underlings "thrown" (Smithy grammar check) under the bus as scape goats.

And now it would seem that not one lesson has been learnt by govts around the globe and corporate criminals just went back to their normal criminal activity, only now it's been honed to perfection & infiltrated the financial/tax business of many countries - if you use Schmulows inference to nearly all OECD economies.

Whilst this is happening the Labor supporters and the LNP supporters are arguing the toss about how much tax corporates & big business pay in Australia - and they provide employment.

Well Professor Schmulow certainly answered that - none of them are paying tax.

I have to rethink my voting preferences for Sat the 3rd.

It will not be for the 2 majors nor will it be for any Greens or Teal numpties financed by another non tax paying billionaire Simon Holmes A Court.

Same, I know the order of the last few on the ticket but haven't decided on the top. Working from bottom to top so far I have Greens last, then Libs, Labor, Teals, but I'm thinking this guy will probably go to number one.

And yes, I watched the whole thing.

In your link, I read this far:

"Andy Schmulow is fired up. His gripe? Companies are too big and too powerful. So much so, they’re threatening democracy’s foundations, corrupting politicians and bureaucrats with excessive lobbying and generous donations. Read More… (Note: Article is behind Pay Wall)

I'm not sure I want to pay for access, because that's exactly what the Greens are saying, which is why the Greens are demanding these companies pay higher taxes.

The Greens want higher taxes for tax-avoiding companies, and higher taxes for billionaires; but Gnads says you can't tax the "job creators" - even though he aparently agrees with Schmulow.

Does Schmulow agree with Gnads, or the Greens, or something else?

You'll have to ask Gnads that. As for the paywall, that's the newspaper. There is a link to a PDF of the article there right beside it.

Yeah, two hours is too long.

Probably all you need to know.

Thanks, so:

(google)

According to Matko Meštrović, emeritus senior research fellow at the Institute of Economics of Zagreb, Croatia,[3] LaRouche's economic policies call for a program modeled on the economic-recovery program of the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration, including fixed exchange rates, capital controls, exchange controls, currency controls, and protectionist price and trade agreements among partner-nations, although Roosevelt generally pursued trade liberalization.[4][5] LaRouche also called for a reorganization of debt world-wide, and a global plan for large-scale, continental infrastructure projects.[5][6][7] He rejects free trade, deregulation, and globalization

Hey, now I AM interested in Schmulow.

This requires further investigation... me agreeing with Gnads on macro-economic theory....? Huh

I know Greg is on board with current mainstream neoclassical economics which is churning out billionaires while entire nations are going broke.....and even Trump thinks the world is stealing from the US.... Shocked

Thanks, I'll look at it later.

I'm voting Greens next week , though I'm a paid up member of Labor; I loathe Albo's cowardice in the face of Dutton's goading re capital gains and negative gearing tax breaks, surely there are fewer greedy rent-seekers than voters who are desperate to access affordable rentals, least of all own a mortgage.

Lets' see what Schmulow has to say.

I wouldn't mind a bit a of organized harassment directed at officials and academics who are complicit in maintaining the current economic dysfunction in the world.
