If corporations are:
- legal persons, and
- if as legal persons they are allowed by law to lobby congress, and
- if they do so in order to help craft laws that will help them make big profits in the short run with no concern for the long run

then it is not just the government to blame.

It is the political system which favors corporations that invest in government over corporations that invest in capital and technology.

“It is the political system which favors corporations that invest in government over corporations that invest in capital and technology.”

I believe that has been happening for a long time. In fact, that is part of the problem. The corporation and government interweaving has created the mess we are in today. We are no longer a Republic, and we are becoming economic slaves with our devalued dollars and our life savings being devoured.

The banking business is today about how much can they get the average person into debt so that they can become rich off of selling phony “mark to market” credit swaps sinking the rest of the savers and wise with the same ship. The destruction is coming and the short term business cycle could careless, as long as they get theirs.

If corporations are: - legal persons

Then we don't have equality under the law?

Perhaps corporations form just to socialize risk.
