Bernie Sanders, the perpetual Socialist and Chuck Schumer, the opportunistic Socialist recently published an editorial in The New York Times advocating a new regulatory scheme to oversee company stock buy backs.  They pretend that they see buy backs as some nefarious scheme by corporate boards to rip off the working man and woman.  The reality is that the effects of excessive regulation of publicly owned corporations has a very anti-socialist impact.  The Wall Street Journal report that "the number of publicly listed companies has dropped by half in 20 years."

Driving companies away from being publicly traded and into private ownership is the most anti-Socialist acts Sanders and Schumer can commit.  

No less a capitalist than management guru Peter Drucker pointed out in his book Post Capitalist Society pointed out that the massive levels of retirement fund investments in publicly traded corporations means that the US is where the workers really do own the means of production, which is what Karl Marx defined as the primary purpose of Communism, and by association its less international little brother Socialism.

So, while Democrats, Socialists and RINOs all push harder for government regulation of publicly traded companies what they are really doing is pushing companies to go private, which will take their dividends and rising stock values out of the hands of the pensions of ordinary working folks and place them firmly into the hands of multi-millionaires (like Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer).
