America, corporate or otherwise, has been doing itself in for a long time. The great ideals this country was founded on have been trickling down the drain for decades. The Constitution gets trampled on at every turn and we have a President who thinks it gets in the way of change. Well, duh. There is a process to follow and just because you don't like it doesn't make it wrong. 

 

But that's going off the subject. I was never good at really getting more than the basic concepts of economics so I'm not really one to comment on the complexities of the how, what, where, who and why of why we are where we are presently. I would just say those who can, do. And sadly they are almost all greedy bastards with no thought for the middle class on down unless it pads their pockets which just screws the rest of us even more. That's all I can really say.
