I just watched this for the first time last night.
Perhaps the most dumbfounding thing is that we the people give corporations their "power" by virtue of a republic, yet people hate "corporate fat cats" and "Big Oil" and "Big Tobacco".
Nothing like being both the problem and the solution.
Thats why I hate all the anti smoking commercials for 'the truth' and other groups that try to make tobacco executives look especially evil. They give the impression that other companies are better somehow. And really, anyone who wasn't willing to do evil shit that results in profit wouldn't stay in charge of a company for long. It is an inherent problem that is built right in to corporations.
