It's something called a "fiduciary duty". I've noticed that some corporations contribute to charitable causes, but they always boast loudly about it as a way of advertising their brand. Supporting democracy probably doesn't enhance profits enough to attract corporations.

Is a failure. Every homeless person is a reminder of it's failing. Capitalism is theft because it's a bad way to share wealth with all that need some to live,while wringing every cent out of them for profits,more money for rich pigs who have more than enough..
