Isn't that what taxes do? I'm not a big exec and I've enjoyed the results of oil company profits.My pick is nationalizing the oil and gas industry and dispersing the profits among society rather than a few big execs
If I had a gun to my head, I'd probably go for some kind of "Bronze Level" healthcare for everyone. If you want Silver or Gold you pay for that out of pocket.My pick is nationalizing the oil and gas industry and dispersing the profits among society rather than a few big execs
That's exactly how universal healthcare works in civilized countries. Healthcare is free. But if you want to hire private doctors, specialists, private hospital rooms, expedited appointments and procedures, or anything else you want, you're free to pay for it.If I had a gun to my head, I'd probably go for some kind of "Bronze Level" healthcare for everyone.

I don’t know.The present value of the Exxon Mobile corporation alone is about $380B. Many “US” oil companies (like Shell Oil) are actually foreign owned. How, exactly, would you propose buying out the oil and gas companies to be “nationalized”?

That will be our RvW mission except we have no money backing us lolAlso, the policy I would like most enacted is constitutional reform to decisively shut down the nonsense Buckley v Valeo 1976 'money is speech' SCOTUS ruling that has resulted in the constitutional protection of unlimited political spending and the country's plutocratization and governmental/regulatory capture by multinational corps, but that's not exactly a 'socialist' position exclusively.
The Alaska Permanent Fund is not a state owned oil company.
