Why We Fight. DU, let's agree to agree to get corporations out of government

13. I believe your post has an overblown concept of corporations.

Not all corporations are like that. Some are, of course, but the corporation is the basic business organization in most cases.

Most corporations are very small businesses. A sizable percentage of very small businesses are configured as corporations, for a number of reasons.

I think what you are talking about is huge corporations, not corporations in general. Let me tell you about a corporation I have worked with:

* Its model of labor is to pay its employees a premium wage over the average wage in that industry. Why? Because it recognizes that stable staffing is important to its mission and works to its benefit.

* Its model of trade is value. The goods and services it provides to customers are of excellent quality. It does that because providing value builds business for it. Its pricing model is highly competitive, because it has to be to stay in business.

* Its model of manufacture is efficiency. It actively markets products that cause the least possible damage to the environment through efficient use of resources.

* Its model of information is full disclosure. It believes that presenting accurate, objective information to its customers results in them making better decisions. That's the part I'm involved with, since I write all the content for their several websites.

It has no model of foreign relations or government. It is not involved in either.

It's a small company, with about 30 employees, including the owners. It supplies, installs and maintains heating and cooling equipment for homes and small to mid-sized businesses. It's one of many such companies in its economic market. It's successful in competing with similar companies, due to its models of operation.

It is a corporation. It is not the enemy.

You overstate in your post. Seriously overstate.
