I can't help you. The goal is not to harm corporations, it is to help the rest of us. If you can't see the connection between the two, then no traditional Democratic party solutions will make sense to you.

A fundamental underpinning of all politics is that it is about power - who has it and who does not. A fundamental underpinning of all Democratic party thought is that to balance the tendency of power and wealth becoming disproportionately concentrated in the hands of the few, that protections for workers and the general public are needed. Political interests representing entrenched wealth and power tend to resist that. Hence the need for politics, and the need for the Democratic party.

If you do not agree with that, then we have little in common politically and it is not surprising that we do not agree, nor that you do not see any value in the Edwards campaign. I can't really help you with any of that.
