Soon there will not be many corporations to kick around any more. Fewer jobs, less money to spend and no free medical insurance. Thanks to the anti corporate left.

if your eyes are opened your answer has to be NO

I have to call bull on this comment. The decline of corporations in America is due to shipping jobs offshore where they can hire people at slave labors and there is no worries if they die at the factory due to unsafe conditions.
The other cause of the decrease in corporations in America is due to mega mergers. All the small companies are disappearing as they get scooped up by mega international corporations.
Both mergers and off shoring jobs are the long term cause of the reduction of jobs in this country. Sure, if we remove workplace safety restrictions, eliminate environmental laws, and eliminate the minimum wage so factories can hire people for a few dollars a day, the jobs will come back. Though, I doubt most Americans are prepared to live like those in the toxic slums of 3rd world countries.
The lost of health care will happen without the anti-corporate helping as the health insurance companies continue to raise their premiums to make the share holders happy and cover the extravagant executive pay. Companies will simply have to drop health insurance benefits to continue to exist.
