With events the last few days it's very clear that some people thing corporations are the face of evil in the world. Why?
What is it that makes corporations so much worse than LLCs, Partnerships, sole proprietorship?
Also, what's so evil about profits? Why is it wrong for companies of any size and shape actually producing a profit?
Not that I know of. It is a German company that had some facilities here in the US.Seimens is a US corporation?

They're not evil.
They're just cockroaches doing what cockroaches do.
Coproations are completely amoral legal entities whose only mission is to increase net worth.
That's their job.
The evil that they do they do (mostly) with the consent of our goverment.
And since we have granted them the right to petition our goverment with money, they are living up to their code of conduct by perverting our democracy in order that they can increase their net worth.
The flaw is not in corporations, but in the laws we have (or do not have) to keep their cockroach like behavior from destroying us.
Whose fault is that?It goes directly onto the legislators in the country whether they be local, state or federal.
People who imagine that the value system of cockroaches is something that we should all aspire to, that's who.
If laws are not enforced they are of no effect. That happens in many cases also.
Kmart, Enron, Tyco International Inc., and list list goes on and on of activities of corporates that have broken the law and stripped savings of those unaware of what is going down. Even if indictments are handed down prosecution is not a sure thing. Many small investors go completely broke or die even before ever recovering from their losses.
The State of Halliburton
Halliburton is asking the Supreme Court to block a local woman's lawsuit against the company.
Jamie Leigh Jones says she was raped in Baghdad while working for KBR, a former subsidiary of Halliburton. Her lawsuit is set to go to trial next year.
is rape evil?

Haliburton will win.
I'll answer your question with a question. Are you stupid?

Well, in all fairness rape is evil and a savage brutality whenever it occurs.
However, to imply condemnation of an entire mega corporation because somebody associated with it was raped is akin to condemning the entire Navy because one drunken sailor got into trouble. Some people do think like that I guess, though they resist having all liberals or all Democrats or all of anything they are associated with being thrown into the same pot.

nice try but a complete fail......that corporation is trying to cover up a crime by using it's money and influence to block the trial.

Nice try, but if I was not guilty of a crime, I would be using any means at my disposal to block a trial too. Wouldn't you?

That's the point I've been trying to make. The legal structure of a business whether a proprietorship or a mutli-national corporation is not evil. In both cases, the people owning and operating the business may be the most civic minded, altruistic, honest, and ethical souls on Earth or they may be the Devil personified. Changing corporate structure will not make the people involved more or less honest and ethical.
Our government, itself rife with graft and corruption, encourages graft and corruption in business through subsidies, various kinds of tax benefits, bribes, gratuities, and other forms of manipulation. Each encourages such behavior in the other.
The Founders intended for the government to put in such laws and regulation necessary to prevent one entity, private or public, from doing physical, social, or economic violence to another, and to resist showing favoritism to any constituency or group.
All we have to do to correct most of the problems with big or small business now, is to get back to that fundamental concept. When we make it illegal for government to dispense charity or favors to ANY individual or group, we will mostly eliminate most of the corruption and unethical practices that now exist.

The hypocrisy in your two postings is showing.
Just as each individual is responsible for their own actions when an individual is under the authority of another or company that company or individual holds the liability of the actions of those whom work for the company. By what you are saying using the Navy as an example is that this company/Halliburton is comparable to a government entity that has a whole set of rules to handle such matters< apples and oranges.. From what you have posted I gather that in your view a company has no obligation as to the actions of their employees while those employees were working for this company in protecting this woman's safety while she was there working for them. Condemning that whole "mega-corporation" for not owning up to it's responsibilities and obligations is perfectly acceptable when they refuse to do so.
I am just amazed at Americans defending allowing foreigners having HUGE influence on our elections.
They have lost all their logical moorings
