Calls are mounting to prevent upcoming artificial intelligence market debuts, including planned offerings by Anthropic and OpenAI, which carry substantial debts and security flaws. While proponents and the Trump administration claim going public democratizes tech gains, opponents argue ordinary citizens bear the fallout when speculative bubbles collapse. Advocates are pushing for wealth taxes in states like California and New York to curb executive fortunes and fund essential services like healthcare. This policy push faces fierce pushback from tech elites, demonstrated by Sergey Brin spending $100 million to fight California's proposed Prop 40.

Meanwhile, via corporate consolidation and political corruption, the billionaire class is getting richer faster than ever before: a 40% increase in wealth in just the last two years. Today, the combined wealth of nearly 3,000 global billionaires equals one-fifth of the entire world’s yearly output. Nearly 1,000 billionaires live and do business in the United States.
The tools of their domination are tax loopholes, corporate mergers and, in the tech world where many of these billionaires exist, IPOs. When a company goes public, its founders and investors win the capitalist lottery. And instead of paying their fair share of taxes and redistributing resources back into society, most turn around and fund even more corporate consolidation and political corruption to extend their dominion.
