Well, yes, and "citizens" are also the souls who fill our prisons.

Neither corporations nor citizens are a-priori good *or* evil: It
depends upon the individual; and just as we don't allow individual
citizens free reign to do what they will, so unrestricted laissez-
faire capitalism also cannot be permitted by a sane society. Because
just as we all know that a certain percentage of of citizens will
happily commit antisocial acts for their singular benefit, so do we
know that many corporate bodies will do the same if given the least
opportunity.

The difference being that when an armed robber sticks up a 7-11 only
that particular 7-11 is affected, but when corporate America gets
greedy we get the recession we're just now starting to recover from:
*everyone* suffers.
