This was part of your initial argument:

Now adays, these large corporations (most of them) are nothing more than mini regime conditioning.

I presumed from this statement that you are arguing that corporations somehow form a threat to the average person. You then followed this statement up with a remark to me about large publicly traded corporations getting lots of easy money and then going out of business.

Now, if your argument is the former that corporations have too much power, that is at least an argument that can be responded to. If, however, your argument is that most large publicly traded corporations are evil because people invest money in them and then some of them go out of business, that is not an argument that can be responded to because it is simply not true.

Yes they do.

Yes, see: Global Crossings, WorldCom, soon to be Qwest, Etc...

>>>>Now, if your argument is the former that corporations have too much power,

Not just with the corps. Look for the deal makings with credit facilities, corrupt politicians, preferred stock share holders et al.

>>>My comment: mini regime conditioning

Communist countries are run by capitalists. They run their counties like corporations. That is what can happen if capitalism is not regulated. We in this country are being overrun by multi conglomerate companies. They buy up every thing and make it impossible for small business to exist. Small enterprises are what made this country great. So support small companies in your endeavors. Buy from the little guy instead of super Wal-mart. I always stop at those vegetable stands on the roadside. That is real freedom and another way to fight communism.
