The corporations are the arms and legs of US.Gov. They have to do what the big boss tells them. The government watches and listens to you, through the corporations. The governments military armorers, are the corporations. They make all of the governments weaponry. The corporations are running much of the research and development for the government, and much of it is very advanced top secret science that I think even they do not understand. That is why R&D is not outsourced or insourced with H1B Visas. They won't give out the cutting edge of technology to a foreigner, only your job. So the corporations behavior is molded by the social engineering of old Uncle Sam. What social engineering you might ask? It is called using the system of taxes and regulations (aka Good Cop Bad Cop) to coerce the corporations (his Angels) into doing what he wants them to do. He wants them to keep research and development American only? Tax credits to the one who keeps Visas out of R&D. He wants to brain drain other countries of talent so that America maintains technological primacy? Loopholes and tax advantages to the ones who build factories overseas and bring in Visas for labor.
