Corporations

Added: Jun 2nd, 2008
You can vote out a government, but you can t vote out a corporation. When we privatize all of our government functions, (as Bush is wont), then politics will be gone, protection will be gone, prosperity for the average citizen will be gone, and we will have no say in our futures. Corporations exist (especially multi-nationals) specifically for the express purpose of increasing profits above projected. The function of government, in my opinion, is to protect the people of our nation, and to improve the quality of all our lives. This includes protection from corporations. Especially predatory corporations. If a corporation which pretends to be American houses itself offshore to evade paying full taxes, then they are not American companies. And they should be taxed to do business at a higher rate. The banking industry last year reportedly made over $17 billion in fees and penalties for overdrafts.
