Ford ?



Haw! Good one! :) Doesn't really answer the question though.

...Today these multi-national corporations have nations for markets. Nations have very little claim [on] the corporation that have a presence in them. These corporations have no national loyalties.

Interesting. No national loyalties, but a vested interest in as many people as possible being wealthy enough, educated enough, and secure enough to purchase its products. Is this bad news or good news?

I really wanted to check out the lifestyle of the nations without a corporate presence--couldn't find one. When I tried to look, the drink Coca-Cola signs obscured my view.

Try Cuba. North Korea. Kenya. Ghana. People's Paradises all.

As with most things they are against, leftists hate corporations not because they are bad for people, but because they are a perceived rival to the absolute power of the state.

The real fact of the matter is, despite the screaming horror it generates in the Left, a good sign a nation is on its way out of poverty and oppression is when the first McDonalds opens there.
