No sympathy needed.
Anybody with an IQ over 100 would realise the OP was about American govt and American corporations.
Only somebody with a low IQ or in the inability to understand comprehension would bring in examples of totalitarian regimes to support their arguement...
...or a partisan hack...oh, that's right, you are....

Actually the OP didnt specify American. So examples of corporate and governmental misdeeds, while extreme, are still fair game.
It seems Boediccea is right. Your brain cells are endangered species.
It is in the best interest of a business, INCLUDING the profit motive, to do what is in the best interest of their customers.
So when they feed you poison, implant faulty pacemakers, sell roll over SUVs & BQ ford Pintos, and spend billions a year on various consumer class action court cases, they are acting in the best interest of the consumer? How does it help the consumer to have corporations out sourcing, off shoring, and paying subsidies to corporations? Talk about a warped reality, you & your gerbil are way out there in cyber space. LOL!
Oh, and for the moron Rabbi, I'll just repost the OP and bold a few bits and pieces....maybe then the comprehension will sink in..
"I have seen what corporations do to people, and what government does to people, and I would side with trusting government before I would ever trust a corporation.
Corporations don't care if people die. Whether it be a Katrina disaster or shutting off the electric power to families in the winter so they die of exposure. They want relaxed regulations so they can murder more people with their products cheaper. They have no use for repairing America, just raping it of its resources. The corporate way has made us a third world country.
Government on the other hand has regulated the corporate enemys, built and maintained America, taken care of its people to keep them safe from the harm of corporations & greed. They are the ones that made it possible for electricity, for sanitzed water sources, dams, freeways, space travel, internet, and support many of these corporations so you can buy almost anything your want from anywhere in the world.
So what is your take & reasoning?"
Still think he wasn't talking about America, or does Viet Nam and Cambodia have space programs?
You talk about these things as if they are intentional, I ask again, how is it in the best interest of a company to hurt its customers?

Actually, you bring up a valid point. Why not ask Erin Brokovich...

Oh, OK. So I guess we can infer that the poster has no problem with, say, Siemens Corporation. Or LG. Or Nokia. Since all those are non-American.
Right?
You really are stupid, aren't you? No wonder you live where your debate partners are sheep.

Moron. The OP used the general concepts of Government and Corporations, while relating them to American examples. That doesn't change the fact that the concept of unfettered Government Power is far more lethal than that of Corporations. The totalitarian direction in which our current Administration is heading us makes comparisons to the epitomes of that philosophy perfectly apt.
It's clear you have a problem with conceptualizing.
You talk about these things as if they are intentional, I ask again, how is it in the best interest of a company to hurt its customers?
Actually, you bring up a valid point. Why not ask Erin Brokovich...
Yes. Let's bring up Erin Brokovich. The PG&E case resulted in a settlement of $333M being paid by that company. Under a proper rule of law, companies which cause harm are held accountable.
Contrast that with Sebelius telling insurance companies that they will be denied business if they attribute their rate increases toObamaCare (which the government admits will cause insurance premiums to rise). The government under this bill will be able to put perfectly law-abiding companies out of business and their employees out of work...with their customer facing compromised health care due to the issues of changing plans under uncertain circumstances.
Dumbfuck: Definition
You prove my point. Companies are about profit, not the needs of workers or customers.
So, since America is created for the liberty of the individual, then it logically follows the business is to benefit the workers and welfare of America as well as the owners.
Of course there is regulation, guys, or the owners will force the workers into a form of indentured servitude if they get their way. If they succeed at that, then put the owners against the wall, metaphorically.

Don't know enough about the new health care plan to comment.

Of course you don't. That's hardly a surprise.
*Edit - note in the Brockovich case, it was the govt (in the end through the judiciary) who made the company accountable. Kinda proves the OP...
You prove my point. Companies are about profit, not the needs of workers or customers.
Congrats you're catching on. We are agreed then the purpose of a business is not to provide for your standard living. Wonder who's job that is though.....hmmmmmm......COULD THAT BE YOUR FUCKING JOB YOU LAZY SACK OF SHIT?
So, since America is created for the liberty of the individual, then it logically follows the business is to benefit the workers and welfare of America as well as the owners.
No that is not how the logic would follow. Your example would be requiring someone else to be responsible for your standard of living. The liberty of the individual is the business owner being free to run his business how he/she sees fit. It happens that it is in that person's best interest to provide reasonable compensation to his/her employees. It is also in his/her best interest to do right by his/her customers. A by product of an owner successfully accomplishing thiose things are more jobs which translates into an improved standard of living.
Of course there is regulation, guys, or the owners will force the workers into a form of indentured servitude if they get their way. If they succeed at that, then put the owners against the wall, metaphorically.
Again doing so would not be in the best interest of the business owner. You pretend for a second. Let's pretend what you say is true. That left to their own devices and business would screw over its employees and its customers. Does that honestly sound logical for the survivability of a business?
