Carnegie steel, Homestead Steel, and US Steel were publicly traded companies. Corporations are less publicly responsible than the government. When was the last time you voted for a CEO? Can you name not just the CEO’s, but the major shareholders who appointed them of any corporation you buy from? To control a corporation, you need to have enough money to buy up a good portion of the shares. What company are you a major shareholder in? Can you name all the corporations Hector Slim is a majority shareholder in? I trust officials that can be voted out more than a group of unchanging oligarchs. Why do you trust these nameless people more than the people you actually voted for?
