On the other hand, the business community is the most undemocratic and autocratic institution in our nation. Our guaranteed rights and freedoms are surrendered at the corporation gate. For the privilege of contributing his labor to the corporation, the worker may be asked to take a lie detector test or to urinate in a cup to proof he is worthy to enter the gate. Illegal in any other place in our society, his phone calls may be monitored without his knowledge. He may be subjected to surveillance by secret cameras and recording devices.
Capitalism celebrates individualism.
However, we do not live in a individualistic state of nature. We have created a social order which we call our government. Capitalism and individuality can only thrive as part of a social organization. Although many capitalists see the government as an obstacle to maximizing profits, the truth is that capitalism is dependent upon the public for survival. Capitalists depend on the taxpayers to provide roads, airports, water, sewage, electricity, public safety, educational opportunities, research and development, etc.
