Considering people have died in this country to protect those corporations, pay to have roads to they can get their supplies, pay to have a somewhat educated workforce they can draw from, pay to put fires out if they start at their place, pay to have police so roving bandits don't take all their stuff, and about a million other things, yes, on a moral and ethical level they do owe us. Almost all those businesses certainly didn't mind drawing on all the resources of the country they could get away with when it suited them. If they don't owe us we as sure didn't owe them all they have took.
You do realize most of the world is a crappy, poor, run down cesspool where the common people are de facto slaves to those they must work for to survive. Basically what you think is fair is for everybody here to have to lower themselves to the level they would have to compete with people that are so subjected to abuse they live in abject poverty and are borderline slaves if not there all ready. Yet, you see nothing wrong with that. The way, THE ONLY WAY, we could every really compete with that is to lower ourselves to that level. That's the reality. Yeah, sorry, I just be too much of a hippie elitist for not wanting that. By the way did you know that Texas has one of the largest amount of impoverished people in the country. I'm not just talking about total numbers but percentage of their populace as well. Wow, that economic strategy is really paying off for them. The last time our country had little regulation we had company coal mining towns that orchestrate putting people in perpetual debt and slowly killing them as they worked for little pay. Maybe we could go back to that. Maybe you could blissfully join those workers in your laissez faire darwinistic utopia that would almost certainly happen. Somehow I get the feeling it would only be okay if you were the one of the few raking in the cash and and the top though.
I hate to break this to you, but you don't want freedom. Not really. That is mostly just a lie people like you tell yourselves as rationalizing your ways of thinking. What would be a more accurate assessment of your views is you want selfishness under the guise of freedom. You got yours and now want to do whatever it takes to keep it. You want to control others for your own benefit just in a roundabout way. You want individual profits without individual responsibility. Considering people have a duty to the society they live in and nobody has an unlimited right to what they want when that starts to adversely effect the people around them I'm not going to shed a tear if people are forced to properly support others and even less so when it's some corporation that has to do so. Considering those people, the elite, the rich, and corporations have schemed and used their enormously huge influence on those in charge to basically write the rules they want for themselves for so long to give them every advantage I'm not going to be bothered if somehow a very little bit is given back to the ones that need it.
Corporations have shown nothing throughout the entirety of history that indicates they can every police or regulate themselves. The thought is so silly it's laughable for anybody that thinks about it honestly. Sure government's aren't always good either, but it's kind of stupid to then want to give control over the only things that can be and almost always are even worse than them. When people have a system and players in that system where the entire basis of it depends on everybody's mutual greed to even function is it a wonder things are the way they are? Does nobody really is the folly in that? And yet, that's what we have, and there are people out that that practically follow it like a religion without even seriously having introspection as to why they even believe what they do.
