    People have tried with minimal success to do something like this IIRC.

    The biggest problem is that corporate America has shit loads of cash. So much so that even if Americans were to pull the money together, it just wouldn’t compete.

    The solution is to vote politicians into power that don’t accept bribes and are willing to criminalize them.

      What you are saying is that we are suffering from taxation without representation.

        That is basically what is going on. We do technically have representation in the same way La Croix has taste.
