Yes everyday and we see it on the news but the news never shows the people who risk their job to do what right. You really seem to hate corporations and I'd love to hear your solution to your concerns.

To be fair, I think those who don't have faith in government are right there in the same boat. If the point is, that with more power (corporate or government) comes more opportunity for corruption, than it is not a lack of faith in fellow citizens, just a realization of a natural fact.

The dilemma for me, is that while corporate excesses are usually confined to a limited scope(one company no matter how big), and often highly publicized, and the government is there as a backstop when they occur; government excesses are usually more easily covered up, generally affect the whole public, and there is no real backstop -unless you count the media, but they have no regulatory authority.
