imagine if a group of misfits actually stood up to corporate america, or the world corporation and said enough is enough, no more creating wealth with wealth, now you need to earn it, because you either get taxed or pay your workers, no more government handouts, the best well paid middle class ever.

" no more creating wealth with wealth" could be interpreted as investing in stocks, or even an interest bearing savings account.
Obviously you don't have to be wealthy to save money, but people who choose to foolishly choose to spend every dime might see it that way.
I agree that corporations should pay taxes on their profit like we do. Workers do get paid, I don't want Uncle Sam dictating how much.
If we could find common ground on those points then I'm all for it.
It would have to be more than a group of misfits though. It would. have to be a major coalition supported by both the left and right to address very specific common ground goals that both sides support. Our polarization is a weakness that's easily exploited by the government. We would have to leave politics and politicians completely out of it. It would have to come directly from the people.
I don't think we're ready for it yet though. Something very tragic would have to happen for people to be shaken up enough to put differences aside and come together.
