    I think if 5mn would just admit he's a gun-hating, country club Republican, we'll all get along much better.

        National productivity and wealth disparity are not the same. It doesn't do anyone any good to just make one segment of society worse off...if it doesn't benefit another segment. Make the country richer (the whole country) and then use whatever levers necessary to make sure that the wealth/benefit gains are appropriately balanced.

        If Apple and Tesla are strictly aspirational brands...they still directly benefit somebody. Then they indirectly benefit many others as the best of their features are sooner or later adopted into low end phones/cars that benefit the less affluent. In the end, the ripple effect of jobs, tax revenues, direct product desirability, and genetic advances they bring to the industry make these guys valuable to even the bottom half.

        This is not trickle down. 81% of Americans own a mobile phone - and the vast majority are benefiting greatly from innovation at Apple.

          Do Apple and Tesla have genetic coding in them now? Were they spliced?

                  Do they have a + net income? You don't pay taxes when you lose money.

                    Amazon doesn't, either. It has nothing to do with + net income in this case, but rather loopholes and shelters.

                              It'll be interesting to see how the regional sports stations shake out. I think some of them were independent of Fox, but contracted with them.
