(51,545 posts)Corporations exist to make money, not to create jobs or do moral things. They exist to maximize the short term wealth of their shareholders. They get sued by their shareholders if they don't do that. Competition serves innovation if it is regulated to prevent the rich from monopolizing a market or taking advantage of the poor. It must be regulated because there is no level playing field. The fact that you refuse to acknowledge that demonstrates either dishonesty or complete detachment from reality. Put down that Ayn Rand book and read Elizabeth Warren's.
You appear to be a Koch Libertarian who thinks that government should not exist and all politicians are corrupt. That is insanity and only serves the ultra rich. Mom and pops need to be protected from the Walmarts of the world. I agree with FDR, only government - -beholden to the voters as opposed to shareholders -- can protect us from corporate abuse. The Dem politicians I support are not corrupt. They support what you would consider socialist policies like public education and government spending on R&D that spurs innovation and allows mom and pop startups to have a chance.
If you spout Koch brothers right wing talking points and don't vote for Democrats, you are violating the TOS and should not be here. Your posts on this thread amount to clumsy trolling. Stop wasting everyone's time.
