The left is in full damage control because these two idiots thought it was a good idea to tell the masses that making corporations pay up is a bad thing

the corporations would simply offshore their manufacturing if we didn't do tariffs and instead relied on a large corporate tax

Dissolve their fucking charters, delist their stocks. Seize any property they do own stateside put it into receivership and sell it to the lowest domestic bidder.

Who said we couldn't be completely draconian to a corporation that is itself completely draconian. Corps don't give a fuck about morals or ethics and are infact mandated to break the law and commit crimes wherever they can for their shareholders. Why shouldn't we be "draconian"? It would be stupid to not be draconian to corps.

so hardcore measures that less of the population would agree with, not even full backing of the democrat party, and would swing the public opinion further into supporting corporations? There would also be likely a huge cut to any corporate growth here in the states if those measures were enacted in fear if they got too successful their company would be sold off to the lowest domestic bidder

Tariffs were a thing 100 years ago, it's easier for people to get behind them as an ancient part of Americana

It's a fine balance, being less draconian to the corporations that if they figure the cost-benefit factor is high enough would move overseas if necessary. We've done tons of corporate bailouts and a cap on lawsuits filed against them if they act nefarious, both of these aren't capitalist policy and more so reflect the EU's policy on corporations

+ hell, we were even using ESG scores like the EU a year ago, it's not traditional capitalism
