Ironic how "in God we trust" is found on money in the US..

Default Mixed feelings on this one...

Having the corporate veil in place to protect shareholders from economic liability beyond their investment spurs investment and it does boost an economy. Something like that is absolutely needed.

That being said, the corporation construct has been abused grieviously, particularly as regards political influence.
