For the most part, corporate America has already done this by marking up items way above their expected retail price and then saying, here, have it at a nice discount.

How long can or will Americans keep demanding discounts on everything


I think the concept of asking people to simply accept a higher price "for the good of all" is not viable.

As to how often corporations have to report and the demands of the stock market on performance "to appease shareholders", that is a very, very different "animal".

I think there are many other areas that need to be addressed within the "fairness" concepts. Like, taxing capital gains but not taxing short profits gained if the shorted company goes out of business.
