    There are plenty of instances where corporations have caused pain, suffering, disease, and even death to humans all over the earth in the name of profit. Wal-Mart, tons of environmental damage, Dow, Exxon, and in my opinion the absolute worst, Monsanto. Just do a little reading on these fucks. I am not against a company making profit, but I am against corporations who put profit ahead of everything, and then when they are finally exposed for being the vampires they are, they just buy their way out of it. Insurance companies that deny legit claims, oil companies that destroy the environment and the people native to the areas they destroy. Food companies that put chemicals in food that preserve the food but will cause disease later in life. Man the evidence is out there. And please with the you don't have to buy their products, a handful of people wise enough to stop buying their shit isn't going to do anything to them.

    I'm on a phone so I'll stop here for now, my thumbs are getting tired and no I'm not blaming apple for that.

    wal mart employs more people than anyone except the government. plus the poor poeple in china that make the products that wal-mart sells. millions of people have food to eat because of wal mart. you say these corporations dont create jobs, then listed some of the biggest employers in the nation. baton rouge is absolutely stacked with exxon employees. many of my friends growing up owed their standard of living to their paernts working there.

    monsanto has some issues but alot of that is due to poorly managed government policy, especially regarding patents on seeds and shit. but dont look at me i am against intellectual property rights.

    oil companies that destroy the environment? who? where is the destroyed area? because i will show areas that are not destroyed by oil companies, basically every place in south louisiana. my dad worked in the "cancer alley" chemical industry for 40 years and it was damn fine place to work.

    again, if you are buying food with chemicals that you dont like, too fucking bad, grow a fucking brain and eat healthy shit.if you are eating twinkies and are shocked to find out they have preservatives, then you can fuck yourself. i cant be everyone's parent.

    you think like a petulant child. i knew you couldnt provide an example of when a corporation made your life worse.

    Oh those "fortunate" Chinese that are working for 20 cents an hour living in Wal-Mart slums. Exxon spills oil all over the earth, destroys eco systems, and really what am I doing, you will argue this with me for an eternity so there is no real point to this. You think corporations are awsome and are a corporate puppet, and probably a shill but would never be able to prove it, but anyway. Yeah pointless.

    maybe you should go over there and tell them to quit if you know what s best for them. say to them " hey stupid chinamen, this job sucks, you should quit!' who the fuck do you think you are? cant you see that these chinks would be even worse ff if they didnt have the option to work at walmart? thats why they work there. goddamn, liberals are bad about projecting their own rich first world sensibilities onto everyone else. such a tragic lack of perspective.

    oil is an organic natural product.

    do you have any idea how huge of a boon for human progress the existence of cheap energy in the form of oil has been? billions of people have been brought out of poverty because of cheap energy in the form of fossil fuels. cheap energy has basically taken the world from peasantry to riches and improved the lives of almost everyone on earth.

    i believe in personal responsibility. corporations do not take advantage of me, i engage in trade for mutual benefit. corporations offer me jobs and things to buy and i can take them or not if i want. choice is good. you believe in repeating what the media tells you in order to take the side you think is righteous. the problem is that the reforms you favor almost always hurt people. but you dont care because you are selfish.

    again, i challenge you to provide one example of when a corporation hurt you. again, who made the shirt you are wearing, the house you live in, the food you eat, the car you drive the computer you type on, the phone you text on, the movies you watch, the books you read? who provided you with almost literally everything?

    What if it is already legalized?

    At the :49 mark he says, "If you elect me President, you're not going to see legalized marijuana. I'm going to fight it tooth and nail."
