I don't want their money. i want their companies.

Democratize their companies. control them by employment or by employee or government committee if they are too big. Make the big corporations work for the benefit of everyone, rather than shareholders and owners.

Running Amazon by government committee, in a couple of years will be requesting a goverment bailout.

This tends to realign the systems around serving the interests of that one large company, and historically has been a mixed bag. Finland's reliance on Nokia, Russia's on Gazprom and Saudi Arabia's on Aramco was good while it lasted.

For what it's worth US laready has large ownership stakes in such corporations as AIG, Amtrak, USPS, Freddie Mac, etc.

I would argue - especially for Jeff & Bill - that the majority of employees are both the shareholders & owners of said companies.

Most Amazon employees are non-shareholding warehouse workers (even if technically they go through a contractor)
