Corporations exist on paper and in many places at one time.
The sole purpose of a (for profit) corporation is to amass profit and consolidate wealth.
Corporations can live forever.
Corporations have no conscience, they are not human beings.
Corporations have extreme amounts of money with which to influence public policy.
Corporations view humans as a resource to be used or discarded whenever convenient for their goal of making money and consolidating wealth.
Air pollution does not kill corporations.
Water pollution does not kill corporations.
Worthless and harmful foods do not make corporations sick.
Dangerous, harmful medicine does not kill corporations.
Is there corruption in the United States? Absolutely, almost all Republicans and too many Democrats.
Corporate money influencing elections corrupts the democratic process. Corporate money has corrupted the Supreme Court – several of its members.
Government is the problem – if you are a corporation that sells harmful products, pollutes the air and water, endangers its workers, avoids paying taxes, reneges on its promised pensions, cheats its customers, becomes a monopoly, uses false and misleading advertising, promotes war for profit, or markets harmful products to children.
There is potential good news: It is votes that win elections. Dollars need not equate to votes.
