Answer 2

Google- Quotations about corporations-
I used one awhile ago about a corporation being an excellent way of making money with no individual responsibilty but I don't remember the reference.

Answer 3

Hmmm. Given the level of greed, corruption and general psychopathy seemingly endemic among/within the larger corporations, the following seems appropriate. From T S Eliot's "poem", "The Wasteland" : "I think we are in rat's alley, where the dead men lost their bones" Food for thought, eh? :)))
