I think there are other things too. I've actually seen private police release suspects rather than have the expense of taking them to the police and being involved. For-profit prisons make more profit by skipping rehabilitation. Insurance corporations take your money for years and then when you have a medical problem, they find some record somewhere that there was a clue you might have had the problem earlier and refuse to foot the bill. They are wrong, but you cannot afford to go against their powerful legal staff. Some corporations insure workers with what the co. calls "dead peasant policies" which pay the company when you die. For-profit charter schools are an opening for the religious to eventually work in "Creationism." And look what Enron did with utilities. . .

And if corporations are so efficient and "good," why do they need "stimulating"? Why do they hack out subsidies from government?

Yes, conservative. I am because I believe in marriage, concern for the world's future and a strong moral code. Unlike most people then, I was never attracted to the hippy life at all. I was against the unisex culture, and all the other secular extremes. But I think corporations are and will continue to corrupt our society unless they are restricted and controlled because they are supposed to do nothing but make money for the stockholders.
