LOL - You have no idea the stereotype you are enforcing. To free thinkers like myself it's pretty obvious when people prefer to let others do the thinking for them... One dead give away is calling a single source a "go-to" for information. Also, I'm curious as to why you had to emphasize that he's black. Do you think that makes any difference to me?

The 500 Fortune corporations are well established honest businesses
That's not what thousands of court rulings say. ;)
Look, I don't see things in black and white like you do... I know that for the most part, Fortune 500 companies run an honest business, but there ARE exceptions and they usually have more to do with specific individuals employed by these companies.

and there are some 9,000 more incorporated businesses that have gone public with stocks and sink their profits into 401K plans for all of us to profit - many of these businesses also reinvest their profits back into their own company for growth, enriching their employees and investors alike.
You have a problem with this???
Why would i have a problem with that?
Wait... you think I'm a communist, don't you? LOL - that's funny. You're all ready to bitch-slap a commie. It must be so frustrating that you can't actually find any.

The handful of monopolies tied to galloping globalism are pro-socialism, often merging with governments and are financed by international government central banks printing reams of counterfeit money out of thin air, bankrupting small nations in the wake. The European Union is the culprit along with the Bank of China. Read Jim Rickard's book "Currency Wars."
Any idiot can write a book, Sparky. But I'll have a look... the title refers to a big concern in global trade these days. It's possible that Jim Richard is presenting legitimate arguments but you're not understanding them.
The "handful of monopolies tied to galloping globalism are anything BUT socialists. A common reference to the most powerful globalists over the last 70 years are neoliberals and their most effective weapon is free-market capitalism. The IMF, the World Bank and the G7 are all assemblies of authority over this world order.
Don't be confused by the fact that so many Democrats support this world order. I know that probably clashes with your dogmatic believe that all Democrats are socialists, but they are not. Most mainstream Democrats are free-market capitalists with significant investments in Wall Street.
You also seem to think there is more than one central bank printing money, but that is actually false. There is only one central bank printing money out of thin air and that's the Federal Reserve. All other countries base their currency on the dollar, which has been the worlds reserve currency since Bretton Woods.

There are over 22 million small businesses and self employed who pay the most taxes.
Actually, individuals pay the most taxes to the tune of about 50%. Corporate taxes are at about 4% and that includes small business, such as limited liability companies (LLC) and s-corporations. I'm not sure of how much of that 4% is coming from small business vs big business, but I know that small businesses rarely have the money to pay for legal teams to find ways to avoid paying taxes like Fortune 500 companies do.
It sounds like you're hearing a lot of things but you're just having a hard time putting it together. I would say not to worry, it takes time to figure all this out but it's not going to happen if you allow your prejudices and emotional outrage to block your understanding.
