One of the problems that I have always had with Conservatives is their constant bashing of Unions. Now don't get me wrong, I think some of the things Unions get in their contracts are outrageous, and I have posted on this topic before. More than once.
The thing is the Corporations are doing the same thing.
1 A Union is a bunch of workers who band together to negotiate better prices for their product (their labor) than they could get as individuals.
2 A Corporation is a bunch of investors who band together to negotiate better deals that they could as individual investors.
No real difference.
The problem I have here is when Corporations are given the same rights as real people in regards to property and even better deals than people in regards to taxes and regulations. Then when the Corporation breaks the law, the only thing the individual investors lose is a little money. (Which the Government then gives you in the form of a "bailout")
