> [@](#): > > I just don’t know where to start. What a simple universe you live in, Zambezi. The only factor in this entire discussion is money? I’m like all aquiver with wonder and rage Good answer. both slightly insulting and completey vague. What do corporations do? let’s see: provide needed products and services employ people who pay taxes which support liberal programs Pay taxes that support liberal programs donate money to charity Support most of the economy subsidize health insurance for their workers Provide unemployment insurance Provide retirement plans that take the pressure off of social security support injured workers now please tell me about all of the evils that they do. Really, I would love to hear it. I am utterly amazed and appaled at the anti corporate sentiment that I have been Hearing. ---
