the HOW is absolutely NOT self explanatory.

it's the crux of the matter, and nobody has any idea how to make it happen, either politically, legally, or economically.

yes, that latter part is all theory. we don't currently have any mechanism to make the corporations sacrifice profits in order to get the unemployment to go down.

the conservative movement in particular lacks the tools to influence corporations. however, the liberals are just as helpless, as evidenced by the recent health care bill debacle.

let's see, how could one make the corporations do something for the good of the country, and against the directive to maximise shareholder value?
