What's the difference between the corporations and the government?

The name?

That's why we should deregulate the corporations and give them more freedom to act like the tyrants they long to be.....because we don't trust them. Do I have that right?

Or is it that the corporations, being the government, have taxed and regulated themselves into being forced to offshore all of their money and jobs?

Phew, talk about being your own worst enemy!

One of the reasons there is a tax on deposits there is this is not the first time the small country has been bailed out......people in the EU feel they should not have to do it again without the citizens in said country meeting them halfway so to speak. I think the Russians have bailed them out in the past also.

The government has the force of law, the ultimate monopoly?

But corporations only operate within the law when forced to do so.

Nah, the ultimate monopoly is professional s[ports.
