Now now, maybe UG really does believe that Corporations constitute all of society. It would fit with the current administrations thinking which UG seems to agre with.

In a way, yes. Business, Jebediah, is what human beings do for their bread. Socialists and other economic illiterates try and make corporations and big business out to be something separate from humanity at large, but really the one difference between the corporate world and mom-and-pop corner stores and restaurants is scale. It is not necessary to be evil to be large in scale. Insist absolutely upon good ethical practice, and you can still be as large-scale as you like.

Those people employed in the public sector rather than business are in one way or another engaged in activities deemed socially necessary, but which do not increase a society's wealth -- put another way, no profit in them. Many governmental functions cover protective/coercive functions -- army and police: not the muscle and sinew of the deer, but his antlers.

People diss McDonalds on any pretext; but still, McDonalds makes Big Macs very well. The one matter open to question is whether you want one.
