Why don't corporations serve in the military and get crippled or killed in foreign wars that are usually protecting corporate interests?

Why should corporations be economically and legislatively empowered to allow them to treat citizens as serfs and cannon fodder?

Why don't corporations get throw into jail for negligent homicide or reckless endangerment when they allow their products to kill people?

Worrying about corporations, mostly the big ones anyway, paying taxes is way down my list of concerns. If they don't want to pay taxes they can simply pay their workers more wages.


Just a day or two ago an article came out with the information that many large corporations are sitting on historically large amounts of cash while they hold back hiring, providing benefits, or increasing productions. Is that good for the nation or good for the corporation?

Corporations are like fire. They are only good when carefully controlled and can do great harm if not.
