Corporations exist to produce profits for its shareholders. They do not exist to provide a comfortable salary to their employees

Yet their employees, who are citizens of this country, are called upon to defend corporate assets with our Navy, Coast Guard and other military, and even give up their lives defending these corporations and their property who say they owe nothing to anyone except their shareholders. Such a deal, don't you think?

Try looking at it from their corporation's point of view -- their most valuable assets leave the property every day, seal themselves into a steal box with a controlled explosion in front of them and highly explosive liquid behind them. Then they hurtle down the freeway at 60 mph...

They pay the government for that service in the form of taxes, both directly through corporate income taxes and property taxes, and indirectly through the income and payroll taxes of their employees. It is quite an expense they pay for that "deal".
