"Corporations are simply collections of investors. They are NOT out sitting in their offices plotting how to "Get you""

That is correct. However, they don't always necessarily have the American people's best interests at heart. I've personally seen small towns become all but destroyed because factories close and go overseas. The folks who made the decision to do this didn't do so because they were out to hurt anyone, their job is to maximize the earnings reports. If that puts people who worked for them into the sh1thole then so be it. I've worked for large corporations, and during that time I was always aware that if they thought it would save them only $1 per quarter they would get rid of me. That's the nature of business now. The key is to make one's self as valuable as possible to those who you work for.
