This is too good, sublime in its simplicity: To: Oeconomicus who wrote (66689) 7/8/2008 11:55:50 AM From: Tim Fowler 1 Recommendation Read Replies (1) of 66691 Yes they all seem to think that corporations have so much power. They look at their income, or even the larger amount that is their revenue, and think how can they not have massive power with that much money. Well its not that they have no power, but the money only keeps coming as long as they keep providing goods or services customers want. If they do a lousy job of that they make less and less (often eventually zero) money. Many don't do a great job but if they don't its not from lack of desire to do so, its from lack of perfect understanding what their customers want. They also look at the political influence of companies, and say that means we need stronger government to balance the power of the companies, failing to realize or pretending not to realize that the real power is the government, and the companies are just trying to influence it (often just to protect themselves), and that the best way to reduce the incentive and ability of companies to influence politics, is to reduce the amount that politics influences and controls business.
