    Corporations can also can't go to jail, can make profits while receiving a negative tax bracket... Yeah, they definitely can do anything!

    Corporations have that unlimited liability so it is hard to take them down. Even though they can have some corrupt slime, you cannot take them out single-handed. I find it unsurprising that a corporation could really break away all the joy in legit business. I cannot fathom the whole scoop on the illegitimacy of corporations having so much lead way. It is amazing that they can still make a profit even if they cheat you.

    Corporations, have more power than we do , they are linked up in every way that it is hard to deal with them, since they have lots of money , they rule since money is power.

    I can't believe you used the words legit and business, in the same sentence. Anything that involves the use or trade of money is generally a cheat of doing any real labour, and with the way corruption is blooming these days just because you have money doesn't mean you worked a Legit day for it. The World is full of illegal millionaires. Besides, you know what they say about every great corporation, behind each is an even greater lie :)

    I have been saying this for the longest time. Big companies not only have more rights but they have exponentially more power to effect legislation in America. These people can avoid jail time and even bring an entire country to their knees on a stock market crash and be rewarded with big bonuses and promotions. It is the reality of our times and it is a problem in our mainstream politics as we have seen these people become more valuable to politicians who are suppose to serve their home base.

    Big corporations are considered independent entities in the eyes of the federal government. Yes, they have more rights than many of us do because, they are the machines that keep our wheels turning here in America. It is really sad that a business can have more rights than oir citizens but, that is the way cookie crumbles.

    How would you even put an entire corporation into jail anyway?

    Bunch of big govt socialists up in here!

    I thought this was an investment board where people came to learn / teach about getting rich / richer?

    Free market capitalism?

    Decreased regulations?

    Increasing profits?

    Increasing share prices?

    Anybody there? :D

    Everyone likes amazing amounts of money.
    However, doesnt excuse the fact that many companies get out of a lot of trouble.
    Starbucks has been known for avoiding taxes in many countries. This wouldnt be allowed if it was person.
