Corporations should decide on the quality of air you breathe and the water you drink.
Corporations should decide what news you should be allowed to know.
Corporations should examine everyone's bodily fluids as a requirement for a job.
Corporations should decide everything about what (or if) about health issues.
Corporations should decide if America goes to war or not.
Corporations should decide how much (or if) you get any vacation and what job benefits.
Corporations should decide if they want to apply any safety rules to protect workers and the environment.
Corporations should decide if they have violated any laws, and also set the fine for violations.
Any more?

Isn't the EPA responsible for doing that... aren't they doing a terrible job?
Isn't the "news" dominated by 99.9% liberal media... hmm....
Isn't examination of bodily fluids only in certain jobs to look for illegal drug use....
Isn't the determination about health issues usually done by doctors, you know the people who actually KNOW about health issues...
Isn't it the President who determines who we go to war and the Congress to approve it... do you have a problem with the President having that power?
If the corporations are paying for your time off and job benefits, shouldn't they have the say so?
Safety rules are regulated by OSHA, a government entity... are you suggesting they aren't doing a good job?
Corporations who violate the laws also set up the fine for the violations... whats that have to do what "Americans Want Corporations to decide everything FOR THEM"...

"Liberal media?" Yeah, sure. Keep believing that, serf.
Tell yourself that you're free.
Let corporations decided for you. They probably do a better job than you can. Check out an athletic supply store, maybe there you can buy red, white, and blue knee pads.

I know you have a problem with "Americans" but I doubt you have ever experienced Americans beyond right wing extremists and libertarians on this board.

They don't. That's the EPA and FDA.

Corporate owned media is not the only media out there. In fact, most people savvy enough to use the internet will peruse non-corporate news far more

See also: Public broadcasting, NPR, etc.

What's wrong with this? If a corporation wants to have drug free workers, that's their business. If you're a druggie, find a job with a company that doesn't drug test. Drug testing, btw, also happens in Europe.

Too many Americans do believe private health insurance companies add some sort of value to healthcare, when they do not.

I've never heard anyone say they believe this.

Some of the biggest corporations are actually some of the most generous with benefits and vacation. Usually, the smaller businesses are more draconian with their "benefits."

In the OP I stated "Corporations should decide..."
Isn't that the way Americans want it?
