" It comes from the heart of every American, and there's nothing that government can do to spark that (though there's a lot government can do to suppress it)." Well, Ten, corporations have no heart, can potentially live forever, have the legal status of people, and have the single driving motivation of producing profits for their owners. Now, they don't HAVE to be evil, but, there's nothing to STOP them from being that way. They don't possess a conscience or morals. As you'll learn when Intel lays you off, it doesn't value you as a person - only as a removable, replaceable component. Other humans are just consumers of it's products that contribute to it's profitability, nothing more. The employees that serve it's goal of profitability are the only one's needed at any given time. The only check on corporations are other, competeing corporations and government. The employees that best internalize the inhuman motivations of the corporation are the one's that rise the highest within it.
