Of course, this wouldn’t happen if corporations thought they would have some kind of backlash. But who has time to ‘police’ corporate actions? Just the same way politicians say that if people got more involved with politics and told politicians what they wanted, then politicians wouldn’t have to make all the decisions on their own or listen to lobbyists or special interests or large donors. Right, I have all the time in the world to call my senator (assuming its a federal issue), which, by the way, can’t happen. You call (members of congress get a free 800 number) and get a staffer, they listen, thank you for your comments, send you a canned letter (members of congress get free postage) and you are forgotten. Unless you have the clout of cash or an inoperable brain disease, it doesn’t benefit a politician to take their time to listen when they have all that money to collect so they can continue to say, “Where are all the people and what do they think?”
