Do you think corporations should be regulated?

What is this society coming to? I mean I know this is America…you can be born to a janitor and become the next billionaire and we have the American dream. It’s just at what point will corporations who are out for a profit and not to better society be held accountable. Isn’t this almost wrong. Examples– Drug companies who are out to make a profit off of society and not actually do whats best for society. Instead of affordable drugs…we get millions spent advertising and targeting us, lining the pockets of doctors, millions lobbying. How about all of the food companies who take some shred of food at some point, pile on millions of chemicals to produce a good shelf life, and pay millions to advertise to you, sponsor things, and then have you eat this unhealthy/nice tasting piece of crap. Our society is so unhealthy…we have companies constantly targeting, over-marketing to us, selling us stuff we don’t need. In the old days, weren’t they called scammers or whatever the old fashion word was. People who went door to door 100 years ago selling you stuff that was a scam and rip off. Isn’t this the same thing? I think we are just so use to it, it doesn’t even phase us anymore. Will it ever be a nation whos focus is on the people instead of american business?
I have a masters in business, I know how it works.

I’m saying…is business bad for America? Instead of the focus people of the American people, it’s on American business. Why isn’t this regulated? Why should people be allowed to sell the obvious crap they call food at the grocery store, at fast food, etc. Taking something that was once a sliver of a potato, piling on chemicals, salt, preservatives, coming up with a nice bag, making it taste good with more chemicals, and them becoming the best brand of chemical potatoes. What is this doing to our bodies? What about all the other crap? Aren’t people sick of being marketed too? At what point, does this stuff cross the line, the actual products.
Consumers should decide…but I would argue that with the over-advertsing, constant marketing, and the way society is moving…most people are not intelligent enough to really get it and think its OK bc it is not illegal. Why wouldn’t the gov’t regulate you eating chemicals for your meal that has no nutritional value. In a way, America has turned out to be such as mess…maybe socialism is the answer.
Obviously I’m not saying this is to benefit business…its for the people. Having an MBA, and understanding business, has nothing to even do with this gov’t policy. I understand business, you don’t have to understand it to have an opinion on a political policy.

Typical knee jerk reaction from a Liberal…. You need to learn how business works before you go freaking out calling for regulations.
