A corporation is nothing more than a entity that establishes a legal framework within a country's legislation. Yes there are entities that exist who have specific agendas and goals besides making money. However, the number one goal of any BUSINESS is to make money, plain and simple. It is the heart and soul of capitalism and the engine that drives this country. This is plain to anyone who has worked in business, financing, trade, etc. Of course, a company can have secondary goals, such as meeting laws and regulations, or generating publicity and consumer good will. These are also important, but ultimately exist to support a business' long term profitability.
