The reason they are so big is because they are protected by gov and the regulations and tax code is in place for their benifit. In doing this, they are able to crowd out the competition like small businesses and the like. So the problem isn't the corporation but rather government. We need to get rid of government out of the economy all together. If that happens, you get competition and small family business can operate in the market. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26551418 Buy shoes lately? These corporations make shitty products. Food tastes like shit now. Clothing falls apart faster. Have you bought shoes lately? The reason is because a lot of the goods are being imported and its cheaper than the goods you are making in your own backyard. America at one time manufactured a whole lot of goods and exported it all over the world because it was high quality and it was cheaper for the consumer to buy in those foreign countries. Also, these goods were made en masse and the cost of producing those goods got cheaper over time, and yet they were able to pay higher wages. |

But there is no outrage or anger for the companies who make billions yet find ways to stick their hands in the pot. When you come one here and make threads about people who receive "handouts" when most of them actually need all the help they can get but fail to mention companies who exploit gov assistants you look like a bunch of selective problem solving hypocrite. How can you sit behind your screen and bash these people yet turn the other way at the real problem. Its like the cop who would rather chase down someone peeing in an ally instead of the guy mugging down the street. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4496880 We need to do better. Nobody, I repeat nobody has a problem with vets, truly disabled,old or truly poor recieving help,benifits,assistance from the federal government, nobody, not a single sane person in the US has a problem with that, and YOU know it. You know excaly who they have a problem with, everyone that does no fall in the above catagories and uses and abuses the system.

We talk about people who do not need the Gov. but don't want to get a job and just suck of the Gov all there life. 2nd - the corporation give back by giving people jobs dumb ass, and the takers give nothing back. You will see as this keeps going on, that this does not work and I can't wait. |

Bankruptcy is in place to help corporations restructure if needed. any government benefit beside disability should be limited and temporary, and if you draw welfare you should have to work for it like anything else. not get a free check. each county needs ppl to clean roads offices, etc. |

Look at the history of the Roman empire. And learn to speak Chinese. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25059788 Regarding parasites voting themselves luxury. You must consider the technological advancement of the last 50 years. how many nick knack shops do we need when amazon will deliver? How many metal workers do we need when a CNC machine can do it better, safer, cheaper? The corporate vehicle is an adult shark that has been protected 'till adulthood. no personal liability, 2 day bankrupcy, million dollar tax refunds AFTER billions of profit. Once these spoiled brats are released, they consume everything in its ecosystem, including government. We don't need more people starting corporations. such as daycare facilities, services for education, homebuilders, etc. we need more people raising their own kids and actually living in the homes we overbuilt from 1994-2008. We do need healthcare for people who don't happen to work for a corporation that pays no taxes. You make a good point in that.. the industrial revolution is long gone. As more and more jobs are replaced by process automation.. less workers are needed.. now what? Computers replace accountants, robotic assembly replaces line workers.. there is simply less need for laborers. And yet we fail to grasp the systemic nature of a changing economy and blame the individuals themselves. Automatization means one day humans may not need to work as much as they do now and may be able to live better lives, but it also means human population needs to stop growing. You can't expect to have 8 children and have the government support you. Yet welfare foments such thinking. We're in a turbulent epoch of humanity where people would do best to stop breeding so we can take it to the next level. Specially on third world nations. Banned as usual. “It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.” |

Here's a link to a thread I made about all the green energy companies Obama has thrown money away to that have gone bankrupt. Thread: Obama’s Taxpayer-Backed Green Energy Failures So this is an invalid argument that people here only object to welfare for individuals. I think everybody here knows this and this is a totally fake contention. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one.

Thousands of regulations and taxes have been passed and yet they have not changed their tune one bit. If you take away the government and repeal regulations and taxes, you get competition and those small family run businesses will come back. The cost of running a small business is enormous with the taxes and regulations and so that's why small business go out of business. The corporations don't have to worry because they are protected and get bigger thanks to the lessening of the competition, they can absorb these taxes and regulations. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 27307504 United States 11/08/2012 10:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Corporations exist to PRODUCE PROFIT by extracting value from labour and resources. If a Corporation cannot produce profit, it dies. When the government gives money to corporations, it borrows it at interest from the Banking Cartel. This destroys the system of production several-fold. I will spare you the details. It is also fascist/communist - TEXTBOOK in definition, because the population has been forced by the STATE, at gun-point, to give their capital to the failed corporation. When people are given money by the gov, it is SOCIALISM, which is redistribution of capital from 'richer' people to poorer people. These are two very different concepts.However, both of them are bad. |
