There's nothing immoral in making an honest profit, dipstick.

>> I'd like to see corporations have to prove their social usefulness on a regular basis to get a renewed charter.

Which would totally defeat one of the most important attributes a corporation must have -- continuity of life. Corporations having continuity of life is a key reason the United States has prospered through difficult times and been able to survive desperate circumstances (like the Obama presidency).

So, while it may fit your personal need to have an entity to pick on it really doesn't serve American interests to be trying to find ways to drag down business.

>> They are constructs without morals, much as sociopaths have no morals. Unlike the lone human sociopath, the corporation often has much wealth and power.

Chris, is it necessary for me to repost some of your comments that are suggestive of YOUR OWN morality or lack of it?

Honestly, you are the LAST person who ought to be commenting on the morality of anything or anyone.
