Multi-million dollar corporations are so evil? I just do not understand this. Why do so many democrats look so poorly upon large corporations that have mastered their field and risen to a global status. this is the american dream. Only in America can a family with a dream to build a memorial to their son erect a college (check out the history of Stanford University pretty cool story) While i understand that many corporations treat their employees more like a profit dividend than a person every year hundreds of people still flock to them looking for jobs. I do not see anything wrong, in a capitalistic society with companies pushing to further their profits as long as they do so legally. Mainly because at any time in another company can come along and topple them. This is a serious question and while i am usually in favor of liberal bashing, this time i want well thought out responses primarily from democrats.

Let me start of by saying I hate getting into these debates. They only frustrate me. But I will because you seem confused on this very important topic. Why is it so important? Because it is one of the main aspects that seperates the 2 main american parties. Some Democrats believe that Multimillion dollar corporations stand for Evil because they think that the rich get their money through...dishonest means. This is in fact sometimes the case. The Enron and MCI scandals in the late 1990s were prime examples of this. Another reason for the Democrats' distrust of corporations is because when the party started taking shape it to what we know it as today, FDR's New Deal Policies came into effect. The heroes of that era (such as the Roosevelts) were trustbusters, helping the common man prevail over "evil" business interests. And at the time, it was a perfect idea. The problem is that those policies were so successful that the same mindset of hating businesses has carried over to today.
The majority of businesses make their money through honest means. You are correct in believing that Capitalism is part of the American dream, and it should not be supressed. That leads me to my last point. *Because some people do not have the drive and determination to work hard and advance in society (Im not talking about people who can't, I'm talking about people just dont want to because its too hard) end up hating and despizing those who do have the determination to succeed.* They tend to want what they don't have. This is my main problem with the Democratic party, they do not want to work for what they have, they would rather have things given to them through other people's hard work. This is an unfortunite fact that does not stand for everyone in the party, just the majority. Why do I think this way? My father came to America in the 1950s. He was just a baby. His parents had no money to start a new life. My father grew up using only what he was able to afford, which was not much. He was never encouraged. he had to do everything on his own. With the exception of his father, every other member of his family had some mental sidorder, be it a memory disease or something like sckitzofrenia (did I spell that right?). He found work mowing lawns and doing other jobs for people. He recycled trash from local trash cans just to scrape by. But he did. Because of his great grades in school, and through saving everything he had, he earned enough money to buy his own car and pay for college at one of the nations top universities. And he had no help doing this. He got married, got a job, and his family never had to go through the hardships he had as a kid. His family works hard, but comfortably. His drive to succeed parallels what business owners have, and that shoudn't be taken away from those fortunite few.

As you can probably tell, I lean Republican. I find it imperative to find the truths in people's actions and make conclusions from them. But when you look at the given answers here, there's only one. One answer to your thought out question. Perhaps it is because you wanted, "well thought out answers primarily from Democrats." There is not reasonable explanation for their current hatred of business.

So, if anyone else does decise to post an answer here, please vote for the best answer! And really do that! Because I am waiting, and have been, for someone to prove me wrong for years. Good luck in your endevors!
