"More people die as a result of corporate activity than because of the actions of deranged killers or overwrought spouses.

, the cost of corporate crimes was in the hundreds of billions... as it is every year."

too stupid. I asked for your best example of corporate crime and you picked a drug company 20 years ago that committed a very very petty crime while also in a business that employs 1000's of Ph.Ds working around the clock saving millions of lives each year!!

You are a braindead, brainwashed Marxist fool and that is being generous given the level of ignorance.

You still can't even keep track of your own questions/deflections, can you, Sweetie?

Try again:

"More people die as a result of corporate activity than because of the actions of deranged killers or overwrought spouses. According to Corporate Crime Reporter, the FBI reported that 1998 saw about nineteen thousand Americans murdered at the hands of other people.

"But that same year fifty-six thousand people died from work-related diseases like black lung and asbestosis—that were unreported by the FBI—and many times that number died from 'the silent violence of pollution, contaminated food, hazardous consumer products, and hospital malpractice.'”

Surely, you simplistic fat-cats don't endorse hospital malpractice..or do you?

Unequal Responsibility for Crime

More people died in the Soviet Union for work related activity, but there were no corporations in the Soviet Union. So where do you get off placing the blame on corporations?

Most cases of asbestosis are the result of exposure from many years ago. Use of asbestos is now outlawed for all practical purposes. In the past asbestos was used because no one knew it was dangerous. Asbestosis was caused by general human ignorance, not because corporations are evil and willing to kill people to make a profit.

"The reality, though, is that more money and property are stolen by or lost to corporate criminals than to human criminals.

"Mokhiber’s Corporate Crime Reporter notes that in 1998, when the FBI estimated robberies and burglaries at almost $4 billion, the cost of corporate crimes was in the hundreds of billions... as it is every year.

"These include:

• Securities scams that ran around $15 billion that year
• Car-repair fraud that hit around $40 billion
• Insurance swindles and corporate fraud found on your health insurance/HMO/hospital billings that runs between $100 billion and $400 billion a year...a hundred times greater than all the burglaries in the country combined.2

"Then there are the occasional 'really big crimes,' like Neil Bush’s savings and loan scandal that then–Attorney General Dick Thornburgh called the biggest white-collar swindle in history, or the actions of banksters and defense 'contractors' that got no investigations whatsoever from either the Bush or Obama administrations."

Unequal Responsibility for Crime

 

[flacaltenn]

Car repair fraud is CORPORATE? $40Bill?

ZZzzzzzZZZZZzzzzZZzzzzzzzz..... End of Thread...

Health Insurance companies billing YOU for charges?? On what planet does that happen?? You Marxist jagoffs have NO CLUE how stuff works..

That these people are not naked, starving or walking to save energy and resources...

Yep, they just demand that the middle class be naked, starving, and walking.

It's the dream of the left. to keep the masses in abject poverty.

 

[Uncensored2008]

LOL. Nearly 400,000 there. You really think that there are that many Communists in the whole of the US? Pattycake, you and the rest of your Red under the Bed ilk are a hoot.

Sure there are. Half the Democrat party is communist.

Half?

In my neck of the woods, 99% isn't half.

Seems to be a failure of Law in the countries of origin. Yes: there are far less safe working conditions there than in the UK and corruption is rife. So buy other brand lines. Me : I usually buy local product or Chinese non-brand names. I gotta wear clothes.

"Numerous safety disasters have occurred over the recent years in Bangladeshi clothing factories,

dear, you are a liberal so subject will be too complicated for you. You could impose USA factory safety standards on 3rd world, it would drive up the costs, the factories would go elsewhere and more would starve to death.

Simple to a child just not to a liberal.

How bloodthursty and liberal of you. People take those jobs because they are better off with them than without them. Without them often means slowly starving to death!!

lol. The power of the consumer is a liberal trait?? If one does not buy the products then it means there'll be excess stock. If excess stock then there will be a message sent to the companies; ensure a basic safety standard. It must be possible for the retail companies top ensure their producers comply with basic safety standards. Now please do NOT think I am advocating the countries giving up an economic advantage of cheaper cost structures; that is not so. But one must have basic standards that ensure workers are able to work safely without many of the idiot union requirements that are a feature of US employment. If a worker gets up a sweat in the US then it's a Union matter or illegal alien workers. But if you wish to discuss further then am only too pleased.

. But one must have basic standards that ensure workers are able to work safely

Workers know best not nazi liberal thugs in govt. The USA can afford basic safety standards that Laos simply cant. If the worker figures that his lot is better with the job then he should not be forced to starve to death thanks to some Nazi liberal bleeding heart. Do you understand?

How benevolent of those capitalists to kill their workers quickly with substandard fire and construction codes, not to mention workplace poisons.

That is merely stating the fact of life; it is overall riskier living in Laos than in the USA...or here for that matter. I have no problem with the workers in those areas making up their own minds about a job; however, and here I don't digress from yourself; an outright dangerous workplace is NOT acceptable. The purchasers of goods have the right, given the truth of the matter, to choose NOT to buy an item made in an unsafe workplace. Your only quibble really is about who decides the risk factors. I have no problem with the US exporting the idea that unless workplaces are reasonably safe, even by local standards, then the owners have an obligation to upgrade the premises. That may well be a problem where local graft is a consideration, and I would NOT trust any Union Org with any sort of role in the matter. But it is a basic human right to have a safe workplace.
If a worker is faced with a choice between an unsafe workplace and slowly starving to death then it is the duty of regulators to intervene...not to stop the jobs; but to ensure a safe workplace. Yes: even in Laos. And I hope you understand that!

My dear liberal expression of folly; it is not CAPITALISTS who set those regulations though of course there are always some who use graft to get their own way. It is mostly local entrepreneurs and old guard power brokers. You want to complain about unsafe work places; agitate outside a bloody Party HQ in downtown Dhaka!!

It is CAPITALISTS who fund the election campaigns and retirements of US Republicans AND Democrats as well as your "bloody Party HQ in downtown Dhaka!!"

Every government that has ever existed has served the interests of its richest citizens first and foremost.

Capitalism doesn't exist in the absence of the Best Government Money Can Buy, and those who think otherwise have blinders on.

Where one has weak corrupt Government then one often sees businesses behaving badly because "that's how things are done there". However, one need only look to Command economies for the ultimate in corruption.

100% idiotic and liberal of course. Our poor, for example, get to vote and get $6 trillion is subsidies each year while the top 1% pay 40% of all federal taxes and up to 50% of state taxes, plus, our corporations suffer under the highest tax rates in the world!

see why we are positive a liberal cant think? Is any other conclusion possible.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Capitalism doesn't exist in the absence of the Best Government Money Can Buy, and those who think otherwise have blinders on.

it true that Democrats encourage fascist collusion between govt and business like in Obamacare but Republicans like capitalism which is the separation of the two.

Communism is when govt and business are completely mixed, standards of living are about 10% of capitalist standards and corruption is the only way to get ahead.

Now do you have your basic definitions straight?
