the public interest.
"Psychologist Dr. Robert Hare runs down a checklist of psychopathic traits and there is a close match:
The corporation is irresponsible because in an attempt to satisfy the corporate goal, everybody else is put at risk.
Corporations try to manipulate everything, including public opinion.
Corporations are grandiose, always insisting that "we're number one, we're the best."
Corporations refuse to accept responsibility for their own actions and are unable to feel remorse.
And the key to reversing the control of this psychopathic institution is to understand the nature of the beast."
Congress still has the legal authority to disband corporations if they act badly and against public interest. They haven't used that authority for a century. Public financing of elections is the answer. With publically financed and regulated elections there would be no more need to cowtow to the corporate beast.
