Take away the corporate income tax deduction for charitable giving, supporting the arts and limit the advertising budget. Do not let the corporations buy the rights to name stadiums or lease suites. Force the companies to use that money for salaries and health care, and we would not need charity, food kitchens and Medicaid. People could earn a living wage and take care of themselves and be there for their families. More people could attend the arts, and they would not need donations.
The corporations get accolades for giving so much to charity, when through their own corporate greed they have created the problem to begin with. Put people to work. Give us all hope.
Corporations forgot about taking care of Americans while they were moving our jobs out of the country and lowering our wages and benefits. If we are not paid a living wage, we cannot buy the products.
American workers, unite! Don’t let jealousy and greed divide us.

Beth what LLCs, LPs, SPs, do we attack them like a Coporation? Obviously Beth does not realize that her grandure idea would neve work. Secondly we will always have Medicaid or the similar, government makes that a mandate, even if we didn't have it, we have to pay into it. beth is not considering the jobs in advertising that would be lost, rather she would again compliain that big greedy corporations allowed those people to be dismissed. Maybe we could oyutlaw all corporations, then there would no jobs. I wonder who beth works for and if they are a corporation. I would bet she is either a welfare queen or works for the government, neither of which contributes to this nation by more than taking what they have not earned.
