Since earning profits for their stock holders, not having sex, is the purpose of a corporation, I think that's understandable. Damnit, now I've got to rewrite these articles of incorporation!

Many if not most politicians and bureaucrats are like pimps. They prostitute out the government power they wield and the money the extort from tax payers.
Some corporations are more inclined than others to seek out the politicians that will grant them an unfair advantage over the competition. It's gotten so bad that many corporations, could be considered negligent by its shareholders for not using the pimp service. Still, it's politicians and bureaucrats -- parasitical elites -- that offered the pimp/strong-arm service in the first place. It's a huge drag on the economy, research and development.

"Could you imagine the anger in the banking community when Wal Mart starts providing a host of banking and savings options at better rates than are currently being offered? "
Here in WV, banks are allowed to provide insurance services. Now there is an industry that could use some competition.

Will Walmart suffer the same fate as Michael Milken? I wouldn't mind being offered the opportunity to borrow money to expand my business--I know I could do it with $--and if a Walmart was offering financing I'd turn to them after the bank turned me down...I suspect there are many others like me who could achieve beneficial results given the capital to engage their dream.
