Going back to the question you're responding to: > How can [corporations] be, in good conscience, allowed to get a pass? I sort of expected you to answer that corporations don't get a pass. I agree with your premises: 1) corporations will follow their own incentives 2) legislation is the means for "caring for society" 3) legislation changes a company's incentives and should be enforced It goes against the Zeitgeist simply because Americans understand that their representatives and senators are largely corrupt (regulatory capture) so enforcement and legislative remedies are a pipe-dream until we deal with legislative corruption.
