Their is no end to corporate growth (greed) if my company has a projected 30% increase over last years profits and we only hit 15% at the end of the year ..we claim a loss... and then apply for corporate welfare, cut jobs and move to where the labor is cheaper.. or figure out a way to cook the books for that quarter until we can get it together...
the 14th amendment makes corporations individuals but limits how the individual can be handled. Hence global conglomerates that employ armies of tax lawyers and CPA's to shelter, hide and limit "profit loss".. the corporate system is draining the American well..

When was the last time you upgraded your computer?
Have you ever bought a new car when you already had one?
Do you have two telephones?
Have you ever replaced some electronic gear with a newer model?
Do you own more than two shirts, pairs of shoes or pants?
Have you ever wanted a raise?
Do you carry a balance on your credit cards?
If you done any of the above, then I have a question for you. How much is enough?

No they aren't. Here's the reason why.
We do not live in utopia, there is no possible way for a utopia to exist on earth because we are constantly evolving. As we evolve, we seek to create new methods to balance the possible, and in doing so, more challenges are created that need to be adapted to.
In many ways, government, politics and business are simply trying to effectively balance the possible extremes by operating at a certain level of production, and as new problems crop up, new solutions are created, which in turn creates new problems.
It is a cycle of constantly seeking to acheive better, not necessarily monetarily, but better as a society, as people, as countries, as workers, and as families.
Because of this cycle, flaws are found in the system, flaws which are bright to light by people seeking change, change is made, and new flaws are found.
At the end of the day, this cycle of constantly trying to get "better" is our life's work, and the work of continuing our species. To a large extent, capitalism is the same way, the system is the best we know now, but does have vital flaws which will surface over time and the system will be revised to adjust to those flaws.
"It" will never be perfect, but thanks to people who push for better, "it" continually adapts and evolves - creating what we know today to be a world of constant change. This constant change forces our hands as people, societies and economies.
Good luck!

That's their sole reason for existence, for many for-profit corporations. To make money for their shareholders.
