" It's when they start harming society that I have a problem with them." Perhaps THAT should be that standard then. Many financial corporations seem to pose risks for society in general while doing it no good at all, if you discount their few wealthy investors. But I still feel that corporations, being artificial, created entities with the rights of humans while potentially possessing far more money and therefor, speech, should have to prove their positive worth to society. To say, a randomly selected panel of citizens on a regular basis. They exist because we ALLOW them to.
