          Using government issued currency? Is it still capitalism then?

          So you’re OK with corporations having the power over your life instead? Just allow them to pollute your drinking water or allow them to put whatever they want in your food? You want to try those things?

            I wish people would just think this though a bit.

            Do you think corporations want to kill their customers?

            No they want them to be rich, happy and healthy so they keep coming back and spending more money.

              Corporations want one thing, profits.

              If you can make profit by enslaving people, cutting corners with health and safety standards, and polluting the environment, they will. If they don’t, they’ll get “out competed” by the companies that do and drive the “inefficient” companies out of business. Then we get monopolization which we can’t do anything about because that’s regulation.
