Corporations provide jobs, tax revenue and products.
This idea that Corporations are harming an average American is based on a European Socialist mentality.
You havent looked at any jobs figures at all have you? corporations havent been hiring at all, despite insane gobs of cash sitting in their coffers, and overall very very good profits. Not to mention all the bailouts and subsidies and corporate welfare they have received, and continue to receive. Nearly all the job growth in N America is by the SMEs, and that group hardly gets any respect (or handouts). Why is that? Its because that group cant afford to lobby like the big corporations do.
Tax revenue? Come on now, surely you have heard about how GE doesnt pay taxes, nor do countless other big business, and all the rest of the other big business entities have so many loopholes that they dont pay taxes anywhere near the stated 35% corporate tax rate.
Products? You mean how the vast vast majority of products that are made in China for pennies on the dollar then shipped over here to be sold at huge markups? Why is it that you repubs have no problem with any of this?
