It's 10% of the unemployed who give the rest a bad name. |

It's 98% of corporate CEOs who give the rest a bad name.

3. Well let's curse them out the day we decide to quit our jobs working for corporations |
|
Stop shopping at any corporate owned entity and stop buying products produced by corporate owned entities. Hate em or love em they provide pretty much all of our creature comforts. If there were no corporations would there be cars or tvs or broadcasts? How would your food have come to your table?
Look at countries without a lot of corporations. Would you rather live there? That is probably some third world country.

4. You are always first to stick up for corporations. |
|
Particularly large ones. When I was growing up, we mostly dealt with small corporations and independent businesses. Food arrived just fine and healthier, too. Cars, appliances and broadcasts required larger corporations, but they were corporations interested in making and selling quality products. When Reagan (and Congress) slashed tax rates, it became more advantageous to make money with financial shenanigans, rather than by making products.

5. There is the alternative of have corporations aren't running the show |
|
The binary thinking isn't reasonable. Corporations are a legal construct not a force of God or nature nor are we restricted from building in limitations or requirements to act in the common interest in their charters. They do not have to have personhood nor do they have to be "partners".
If you are going to go all binary then I'll take being left with the sight of the stars, fruitful soil, fresh air, and clean water. That isn't the extent of the options by a longshot so I'm just sayin.

When you look at the numbers of unemployed in the African American community the number jumps to over 25%! This is hideous!

If they run the corporation well and it employs thousands of people, someone has to run it. Why must that necessarily involve some evil?
who are the 2% who are OK?

|
