@theblackhole05 "Alot of these companies have more money than the American government" - the US federal government spent 4 trillion in 2018. Using 2018, even if you dissolved Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and Alphabet and recouped their entire market value (which can't be done lol) you'd still only have 3.5 trillion... Not even enough to run the country for 1 year... and you just lost big players in the world economy.

@austindouglas730 "It’s your choice on how you’d spend the money, not the government’s" - communism isn't about dictating how you spend your money. In fact Soviet Russia nearly collapsed multiple times because their products were so shoddy people saved the money and not spending, leading to stagnation. "The deep-red state of Alaska shares its oil profits with all of its residents" - between 1000-2000 dollars per year. Not every area is fortunate to be blessed with black gold, and the push for green energy and - I hope - thorium will make energy so cheap oil prices will collapse.
