How it is ok for citizens to be on their own but it is ok for corporations to push their lackeys into politics to serve them?
Wow. Excellent question. Government takes care of the corporations while leaving the rest of us on our own. We don't have the money necessary to have any political capitol whatsoever.

Having spent my life working for two Fortune 500 companies - I can attest that what you are saying is the truth. They do not care about 'culture and society'. They care about profit and shareholders. Period.

the way I see it jobs are a product of supply and demand.
We don't ~ but we are. Corporations can now buy and sell their politicians. They can pay for big time lobbyists. We can't. Until that changes - corporations will continue to rule and the everyman will continue to get the short end of the stick.
Should they tax other tools like screwdrivers and hammers too?
The automobile, assembly lines, computers and other advancements didn't cause permanent mass unemployment, the economy will adapt.
There is a big difference taking place than what occurred in the past.
In the past, muscle power was replaced.
There were 2 million horses in this country in the late 1800's.
They were used for their muscle for entertainment, work, transportation and so on.
Guess what the horse population is today?
Today, it is not muscle power being replaced as much as it is brain power being replaced.
I suspect there are some evil people that would like to do away with humans since they are just a tool to amass wealth and are no longer needed.
Most of us that contribute are smart enough to be the ones engineering, designing, building, installing, programming and repairing those robots. Is yours one of those unskilled, repetitive jobs that is so simple that it can be replaced by a machine?
So we will all be Engineers, Designers and installers then?
How many engineers does it take to automate factories?
Certainly not 6 billion.
And same automation is being perfected to take over the millions of low skill work as cashiers, stock clerks, wait staff and crop pickers.... And then there will be the inevitable robots that will be driven around by automated trucks to deliver the mail, packages and other cargo. This is all in response to people demanding higher wages, with benefits like health care, retirement packages, and paid holidays, sick days and vacations. And oh, don't expect the military to intervene, since it's the elite rich who pretty much own all of the high tech weapons contracting companies, and they are sure to install software that will keep them safe from their own weapons being used against them.
So, face it, the elite wealthy have won this war, and there is nothing YOU can do about it. If you try, they will just send their drones over to bomb your ass.
That sounds like something right out of the bible.
These elite will be Satan's Right hand man.
Then Corporations should not be anywhere near our government then.
Ever heard of the Constitution?
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution
Nope, nothing about profits first corporations over the people in the Constitution.

Corps have never been near our government. They do not know how to talk.
How is mass immigration and population growth going to help?
Not to worry...Chain Migration and DACA will just turn to MS13 for employment.
