Liberal? Its as church going conservative as they come. I don't know anything more old fashioned than honesty with employees and providing a good service.

It sounds to me like you are the judge of all that is "conservative".

You apparently automatically assume that most people who engage in business are doing so only in order to get rich quick.

Its certainly been a problem going around some sectors of Wall Street. No where did I say EVERYONE, like you ALWAYS emphasized, ALL the TIME about EVERYONE, that I ALWAYS generalize ALL businessmen, into ONE category, and they are ALL bloodsuckers....

Here is what you said

Corporations are entities with real, tangible power. Part of the problem with corporations is that people hide behind their corporate face.

You didn't say "part of the problem with some corporations" or "part of the problem with some small portion of corporations", you said "part of the problem with corporations" - period. Now, apparently you are acknowledging that any problems that exist with some corporations are not endemic to that business form but, instead, are applicable to anyone who engages in business, whether they engage in business by means of a sole proprietorship, or a partnership or a limited liability company or a corporation. And this is exactly the point that I was originally making If you have a problem with something a business does, your problem is not with some corporate legal fiction that the business is operating under but instead is with the people who are actually running the corporation. Finally, your apparent point that business people generally have venal motivations is a typical liberal conceit. I know of very few businesses that last for very long where they are trying to harm their customers. That just doesn't happen. The vast majority of businesses care about their customers and want to do good work for them.
