They always have. No corporation has ever paid a penny of tax.
They've just passed that expense along to the rest of us who buy their
products, and we pay it. THe corporation simply ends up being a tax
collector, to the detriment of Ameican industrial competitiveness.

Why would you not be "corporate-loving." Where else do you think
you're going to get the good jobs to raise people out of poverty?

>In your distorted world, corporations can do no wrong.

Didn't say that, but that's no reason to hate them all because some of
them do really nasty stuff.

Their families can (and do). It's cold comfort, but that's better
than the no comfort at all you get when an unaccountable government
bureaucracy does the killing.

Insurance companies don't kill people. They do, in many cases, refuse
to pay for life-saving medical care. But they don't try to prevent
you from obtaining the care yourself, the way government does.

ROTFL. A sociopath doesn't care whether something is slavery or not;
by definition he lacks a moral sense and thus lacks moral outrage.
