Well, corporations are not the ones going to people's houses and putting them in a cage if they don't pay for their goods and services - the government does. Don't like the public 'education' service? too bad, you will be thrown in a cage if you don't pay for it.
Since free market entitites (corporations are not, but w/e) are completely voluntary, they will do their best to appeal to their audience and to give them want they want through persuasion and not coercion.
Remember, corporations do not have the guns, the government does.
So tell me more about how corporations are bad but government is good...
Talking to you is like playing Whack-a-mole. Each time you're shown to be wrong, you disappear from a thread only to appear in a different thread spouting the same nonsense, having not learned anything from what you've been told.
