	Corporate America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Corporate America is an informal phrase describing the business world of the United States.
		Corporate America has completely forgotten that it exists at the pleasure of the people and can be written out of existence at the stroke of a pen : corporate charters are rescindable.
		Looking at it from yet another perspective -- and considering the many recent scandals of corporate governess, epitomized by the ENRON scandal -- it is no longer necessary (if it ever was) to isolate stockholders from direct responsibilty (both criminal and financial) for the misdeeds of their managements.

	City Journal Winter 2005 \| Corporate America’s New Stealth Raiders by Nicole Gelinas
		No longer content merely to change corporate America from the outside, public-pension funds are now taking advantage of a chastened and weakened post-Enron corporate America to shift the focus of their political and economic power to the inside of the corporate boardroom.
		The SEC said that the line between corporate governance and micromanagement was becoming blurred—but its decision proved that it still believed that there was a line and that corporate honchos were free to make their own management decisions, good or bad.
		Corporations are not partnerships or sole proprietorships—they are not meant to be run directly, or even indirectly, by the shareholders.

	Nader's Testimony on Corporate Welfare
		Because so many corporate tax expenditures have been identified in official administration and congressional publications, this is a large area in which it would be easy for Congress to act to eliminate a huge category of corporate welfare in one fell swoop.
		With corporate welfare so pervasive at all levels of government and so deeply entrenched thanks to the political maneuvering of beneficiary corporations and allied bureaucracies and legislators, the campaign against corporate welfare must be strategically savvy, multi-pronged and able to both create momentum and to take advantage of external events.
		Such legislation would not propose a permanent ban on corporate welfare, which in any case would always be vulnerable to subsequent legislative action, but would require proponents of particular programs to mobilize support for the affirmative re-commencement of their favored subsidies under both procedural safeguards and reciprocal obligations.

	What Went Wrong in Corporate America? 2/24/2003
		In the corporate sense, the word has come to mean the use of the enterprise's resources in the faithful service of its owners.
		Some 60% of corporate employees, for example, report that they have observed violations of law or company policy at their firms, and 207 of 300 "whistle-blowers" report they have lost their jobs as a result.
		A large proportion of these shares that were sold were those of corporate executives who had acquired vast holdings of their companies' stocks through options, and those of entrepreneurs whose companies had gone newly-public as Wall Street investment banking firms underwrote huge volumes of initial stock offerings, many already defunct.

	Corporate America: The Land of the Greed
		The problem is that Corporate America has lost touch with general moral values upon which this country was built.

		These major corporations are located in tier one cities for the most part and therefore good jobs are being sucked out of small cities at a record pace.

		True, corporations likely won't feel comfortable about openly talking about their offshore activities until job growth returns to the U.S. In the late '90s, few alarms were raised about the heavy influx of immigrant IT workers because the software industry was desperate for skilled employees.

	Committee of Concerned Shareholders
		The real problem with corporate governance is the lack of an effective procedure by which Directors can be held personally accountable for their actions, e.g., voted out of office and replaced by candidates nominated by Shareholders.
		Corporate directors weren't in the habit of challenging management, certainly not on a board where the founding family had a majority of seats.
		U.S. corporate foundations revealed they gave nearly $25 million to non-profit groups for which one or more directors was an employee, trustee or held another leadership position.

	Is This America's Top Corporate Crime Fighter?
		The adoration of corporate executives--those with a tough-guy disregard for their employees and social norms--seems to be receding now, along with stock prices and disappearing profits, but it does resemble a utopian cult, in which the followers obsessively worship a few strong guys said to possess superhuman qualities.
		The law firm has already won a string of minor victories in which corporations, in addition to paying cash settlements, were compelled to adopt various internal reforms--some of the same governance reforms that shareholder advocates have been pushing for years in proxy fights, usually without success.

		The assets of Air America are reported to be sold to a new corporate entity, leaving creditors of its existing corporate parents, Progress Media and Radio Free America, high and dry.
		In an asset sale, as a matter of form, the selling corporations remain in existence and, as such, remain liable for the debts they have incurred (the debts are obligations of the entity).
		(1) the corporation was the controlling shareholder's alter ego; and (2) adherence to the limited liability rule would "sanction a fraud or promote injustice." Under this standard, the prospect of an unsatisfied claim is not enough to meet the latter prong of the test.

		The issue of American corporations moving overseas in pursuit of cheap labor has become a rallying cry for the otherwise conservative business journalist, and through his national TV show, he has become a lightning rod of controversy for speaking out against it, having been called everything from a protectionist to a communist.
		Although Dobbs notes, as does Peterson (who is Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, and hence no liberal), that corporate America, and the two "main parties", no longer represent America or American labor or the American voter, he does not focus on this as the core issue.
		Dobbs actually writes, "...Corporate America will not end the outsourcing of American jobs to cheap foreign labor markets without government intervention." When a Republican writes a statement like this, you have to know that our nation is in serious trouble and that we have to do something about it soon.

	Reforming Corporate America - How does the Sarbanes-Oxley Act impact American business?
		The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Congress' effort last July to respond to corporate scandals and to restore confidence in the stock markets, is off to such a rocky start that one is tempted to ask whether Congress will have to try again to accomplish significant reform.
		If corporate officers considered to be the prime culprits in the scandals of the past year ultimately serve little or no prison time, the deterrence effect of the tough penalties may prove to be minimal.
		In yet another ironic parallel to 2002, Kennedy was criticized for being tied to the manipulative practices that the SEC was intended to stop, just as Harvey Pitt was viewed as being too close to the accounting industry to be a serious watchdog.

	ARIANNA ONLINE - Books: Pigs at the Trough (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		As she puts it: "the economic game is not supposed to be rigged like some shady ring toss on a carnival midway." Yet it has been, allowing corporate crooks to bilk the public out of trillions of dollars, magically making our pensions and 401(K)s disappear and walking away with astronomical payouts and absurdly lavish perks-for-life.
		They are manifestations of a megatrend in corporate leadership -- the rise of a callous and avaricious mindset that is wildly out of whack with the core values of the average American.
		We need, she argues, to go way beyond the lame Corporate Responsibility Act if we are to stop the voracious corporate predators from eating away at the very foundations of our democracy.

		Recognizing that the pen is mightier than the sword, and, that the "mic" is mightier than the pen, NRun used the remnants of his retirement savings (severely reduced by losses tied to company stock), to fund the recording project.
		He received enthusiastic moral support not only from ex-Enron employees, but also from others around the country who felt betrayed, mislead and cheated by corporate corruption.
