Equality?

[denuseri]

Essential services?

Like Social Security and Medicare?

Like the Military and Police Departments?

Like the Fire department and in some countries all health care?

I think these can all be done quite nicely without having "corporate involvement".

(and btw I include Labor Unions in the same catagory as their corperate counterparts becuase , well historically speaking, one is a sympton of the other)

Just like they were done (and done quite well I might add) prior to the advent of the modern corporation or it's involvement in politics or its rise to hegemony over the world.

Greed need not be the sole motivating factor used to drive incentive...and one day I hope that mankind will find it a necessity to rise above it's strangle hold before we end up in another dark age or worse as we scramble to "acquire" control over the worlds dwindling resources.

Neither is an essential Government service!

Like the Military and Police Departments?

Military is an Essential Government service. Police, however, are a local issue!

Like the Fire department and in some countries all health care?

Again the Fire Department is a local issue! As for health care that is, again, not an essential Government service

I think these can all be done quite nicely without having "corporate involvement".
