Socialism would be Intel's employees owning and running Intel for their own benefit This is the State (which exists for the benefit of the rich to begin with) shaking corporations down for money value stolen from the Intel employees who created it This is Capitalism

This is not an “intervention.” This is an entry point into a state planned economy. Free Markets out the window. Five Year Plans complete with fake numbers. I CANT WAIT until the business tycoons are called before Congress, records subpoenaed, and they have to explain themselves. Quid pro Quo?
