I certainly don't advocate hiding anything from citizens. I would much rather openly discuss the negative effects of lobbying and other means by which corporations try to capture government. Even better, let's all discuss the appropriate role of corporations. Should they exist? If so, what kinds of powers should we let them have?
Sorry to intrude, but I've just red this amazing paragraph and I can't help noticing how ugly it sounds.
Corporations are nothing but a bunch of people working together in order to reach a common goal. You don't question the existence of people. You may judge their acts, but not their existence. And corporations do nothing but selling stuffs to people who are willing to buy them. They force no one to do so.
From you, this is truly a compliment. This is precisely the type of response that reassures me that my moral compass is still functional. Thank you.
