[00:17:21] <exec> 08└─Ripping yarn, and also totally irrelevant. Other people suffered worse and succeeded in the past, therefore we shouldn't do anything to mitigate suffering or unfairness today. That's a fallacy (relative privation [wikipedia.org]).

[00:17:24] <exec> 08└─Tax companies, but give big tax breaks for employing middle-class workers. (Up to a wage cap.) Obama was right: we need to spread the wealth around. The only question is whether government should do it directly, or whether businesses should be encouraged to do it. I suggest trying the latter.
