Tornado Alley (PROG)

It's universally accepted humans require some controls. If corporations are humans (they aren't but SCOTUS said they are) it follows that it should be universally accepted that corporations require controls. 2008 should have convinced everyone of that. It's a matter of degree.

It's ironic that while the court labelled corporations human corporations evermore push their human workers aside.

"Friedman
Friedman introduced the theory in a 1970 essay for The New York Times titled "A Friedman Doctrine: The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Its Profits". In it, he argued that a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders.

Locke
You know what it is to sign a contract. It means you abide with all the rules and regulations of that contract and agree to follow them, discontinuity of which would cause serious punishable consequences. A social contract is what we all sign as a part of the society we live in, in order to enjoy its social benefits. It is not an official contract, but a fiction; that of mutual understanding."

The Koch bros. of American libertarian style have much to answer for.

In the case of the party establishment, that agenda is about redistributing income up the scale, and in particular helping important donor interests. Republican politicians may invoke the rhetoric of free markets to justify cutting taxes for the rich and benefits for the poor, or removing environmental regulations that hurt polluters’ profits, but they don’t really care about free markets per se. After all, the party had little problem lining up behind Trump’s embrace of tariffs.

Meanwhile, the philosophy of the party’s base is, in essence, big government for me but not for thee.
