Why Corporations are Freaking Awesome

Lots of people hate corporations in this day and age. Corporations are associated with money-loving, heart-lacking, white man run organizations of evil. I suspect that these beliefs were some how created by hippies. Here is what I think: Corporations are awesome; way freaking awesome. There is a disclaimer, corporations are heartless. That is because they are run by thousands of shareholders, not by one man. The sole purpose of a corporation is to make a profit, that is it, there is no emotional side of a corporation; every decision is made with profit in mind. So to say that a corporation is evil, is the same as saying your computer is evil because it lacks emotional computation.
So, why are corporations and big businesses awsome? Corporations are good because they are financial juggernauts. Their output is at such a high level that they not only make goods more available, they make goods more affordable. For example, you can buy a motorcycle from a large output, factory business like Harley-Davidson for approx. $16,000. Or you could buy a motorcycle from a relatively small output, handmade buisness like Orange County Choppers for approx. $60,000. The reason is because OCC builds bikes individually, where as Harley-Davidson uses an assembly line. With that in mind do you think you could afford a car? I know I sure as hell wouldn’t be able to. You can thanks corporations and big businesses for cars. In fact, you can thank corporations for plenty of things that would have been unaffordable if not nonexistent. Thank coporations for computers, cell-phones, airline travel, long-distance communication , modern medicine, television, videogames, electricity, the Internet itself would not have been possible, cheap clothing, refrigerators, electronics and many more products and services. Do some corporations break the law? Yes, breaking the law for personaly benifit is evil and should be punished accordingly. Should all corporations be thrown into the same groups as the ones that break the law? I think no, but you can stereotype if you want. However, Corporations have produced multitudes of products that people enjoy, so I thank corporations for that much, you should do the same.
I just saw a South Park with this message, It appears we both came to the same conclusion.
