The balance is so far lost... and that's before knowing major corps like those on the list, are a monopoly of some kind, many in several ways. Which completely sucks up the free markets around them. If the 1,000,000+ or more small companies could open and compete across the Country, which that money flow could easily support, we would have far more people working across the Country.... spending a shit ton more money - however it would be making 'us' rich vs. 'them' incredibly rich - and we can see they don't like that.

Today, I don't see at any level how those corps provide for our Country, in my eyes they are economic and social terrorists with ultimate power.
