Corporations are vampires

[frogstar0]

I have said many times corporations are vampires. They are godless, soulless, immortal creations and will suck the life out of their employees, their community and anything else for an extra dollar.

1. They're designed to be that way.

The only raison d'etre for corporations is to make profits.

If corporations started along the lines of non-profits, the Board of Directors would be fired by the shareholders.

3. Agreed

I find the vampire comparison gets some hard to reach folks thinking.

2. As well as the Billionaires who own them

And the politicians that are owned by them.

4. Agreed but

The people in this analogy are Renfiels.... The servants of the master.

5. Corporate personhood has stregthened

the bloodline and changed to omit clauses like 'in the public interest'.

6. Owners of corporations are not a person they are groups of people

It's a peculiarity of Corporate oligarchy that a group of stockholders is a citizen with the rights available to super rich citizens,

but

a group of people who own a local union, often incorporated, aren't a citizen but are terrorist enemies of the state.
