Requiring things of corporations in exchange for the many protections and the enormous power we grant them is considered by many in the US to be socialism, and therefore immoral and unacceptable.

I laughed out loud when I read your comment, it's so true. Why in hell would we ever expect corporations to give up _anything_ in exchange for their benefits from the system?

It's funny, the left treats wealth like a fact of nature (the only problem is how to distribute it!) and the right treats protection like a fact of nature (I ain't givin up nothin in exchange for protection of my assets!)
