Political Persuasion- how did you get there?

Perhaps not all corporations are inherently evil ... but the unbridled profit motive is.

Corporations are not citizens. And I am sick of corporations having the rights and benefits of citizenship.

Government of the people, by the people and for the people should encourage the econmic benefits of corporations, but should have a far more robust system of checks and balances to corporate power and greed. The profit motive will, almost inevitably, accept harm to the people and the planet in exchange for money. And government derived from the will of the people should offer protections to the citizenry from the dangers of the cold pursuit of gold.
