16. Corporations aren't evil unless they are given people's rights and allowed to stomp on people

Not every corporation is destructive, but taking away The People's rights and giving them to corporations and letting those corporations "buy" elections and write legislation is destroying America.

Putting our rights to "life and liberty" into the hands of people who profit more by denying us both is a real definition of insanity.
