>> You ignore all the bad corps have done in this country....discrimination, pollution, child labor, pollution, discrimination, lobbyists, exporting of jobs........ I don't ignore it; I just keep it in proper perspective relative to the good corporations have done. Hiring millions of employees, many of whom are overpaid versus their respective skillsets and certainly versus their foreign counterparts. Paying immense dollars to the federal and state governments in taxes and fees. Providing for the formation of capital which is essential for the development of new drugs and medical facilities (I would point out that the CT scanner was invented by BMI, but because of the inability to form the required capital could not be marketed until it was brought to the U.S.). Providing health insurance for most U.S. employees, while paying them a more than fair wage. Without question, the items you cited are far more than offset by the good American corporations do.
