      Yeah it is really funny how an entity that controls dozens of people’s lives only benefits the “king” at the top.

      I was raised to think we were above having kings and slave masters in the modern era.

        You said “Corporations shouldn’t be allowed to make a profit.”

        Even in my wildest liberal dreams, I can’t invent a sentence so brazenly unrealistic. If you don’t want corporations to make a profit, you basically don’t want corporations at all. It’s pointless to even frame things in the context of capitalism at that point.

        Capitalism is an evil and shitty system. Just say that, instead of trying to redefine what capitalism is.

          Corporations had their profits taxed at 90% and had to convince the city council to let them open each location of their businesses requiring that they would actually provide a needed service to the community.

          This was less than 100 years ago.

          I’m sorry that propaganda is so effective on you.
