dude i dont even know what that means to "value corporations over individuals" i dont know if you study much history but the legal construction of a limited liability corporation is one of the main reasons americans have so much wealth to argue about in the first place

in my experience a liberal complaining about a corporation, even in any abstract sense, is invariably talking about or thinking of a group that would not exist and do what it does without the implicit support of government force in the first place -- either some fascist oil company, or the prison bureaucracy, or some other setup where privilege has been given to the "private" half by the very same government they support for the very same anti-free-market reasons they believe are just

so maybe you wanna be a little more specific or maybe you wanna drop that one
Well the thing is that I don't have a problem with corporations or politicians giving them breaks. I'm not some liberal wack job who wants some weird hippy bullshit.
What I mean is, that when it comes to Romney, it feels like a zero sum equation where his plan is cutting health care and raising taxes for the majority of the people so that he can create better opportunities for corporations that I do not feel would in turn benefit anyone except the ones who run the corporations.
He says that his idea is to do these things and that by easing up on businesses and corps it will create a better job market and in turn allow those businesses to offer their own health care and create more jobs but that simply hasn't been the case historically.
The corps and businesses tend to shunt the profits to the higher up and then downsize their workforce.
