I also strongly support enforcing our existing antitrust laws, yes.

Sure, a board, no member of which may be worth more than $100M.

What does that change when the CEO is still commanding a trillion dollars in capital?

Also consider how you're going to choose the board of a trillion dollar company if no natural person owns more than 0.01% of it. It's going to end up being controlled by Wall St funds instead. How do you expect that to go?

This is just a power transfer to Wall Street and CEOs.

We live in a wealthy society. Folks will be wealthy. The problem isn’t the wealth per se but the distribution, in particular, the pain at the bottom; the channels between wealth and politics; and the connection between wealth and morality in fascistic-Christian circles.
