Big multinational corporations = bad

Why? Because when an company incorporates they are making a compact with the people of the nation that is granting them that status. The people of America provide protections through our government and rule of law so that corporations can do business here. In return, the profitable corporation bolsters the domestic economy of a nation. When a corporation goes multinational, they rely on the American people for protection, but the economic boost now goes out to foreign countries. The American people have all the responsibility for protecting that corporation, but get none or little of the benefit from having granted corporate status to that company.

Just 40% of the profits.

Corporations are machines. You would be foolish to make a compact with a machine. Actually, you might have more success making a compact with your toaster.

As machines, they only have two obligations, both closely tied to their survival:

A)Produce money for the owners/shareholders
B)Obey the laws of the countries in which they do busines

[LowCountryJoe]

Foreign owned companies that produce in our domestic markets, using domestic labor, should be stripped of their status of doing business here. The multinational corporation is bad!
