You support corporations ripping off consumers and taxpayers, bribing congress, using monopolies and price-fixing? Corporations under a deregulatory hands-off administration become a major threat to the country (see the S+L debacle which cost us 300 billion). Especially during war-time. If the politicians in charge look the other way and let corps do whatever they want they will rip off hundreds of billions. Because that's their job, to make as much as possible, charge as much as possible and evade taxes as much as possible. Corporations are only beneficial so long as they play by the rules. But to do that they must be regulated. They cannot be trusted. The honor system doesn't work with them.
