You absolutely can democratically control it. All democracies on the planet have taxes. You can democratically elect a party that will impose a 99% corporate profit tax rate. Then you can democratically deside what to spend this money on. Maybe education, maybe defense, maybe tesla subsidies, your democratically elected government can decide. In fact, some countries in northern Europe sorta move in this direction.

If this has not happened in your country, it's because your voters don't want this. It's called democracy.

Oh, and because I absolutely certain you're from the US and will reply to this comment with your usual whining. No. You had Bernie Sanders, and ended up with Trump. And don't talk to me about 48% vs 52%. It should've been 2% for Trump, 98% for Bernie. And you would've seen your dreams come true. Democratically.

So, stop whining. Accept the truth: about half of the population of your country wishes the opposite of what you do. So your reality doesn't happen because they don't want it. This is called democracy.
