Default Right vs. Left = Corporations vs. People?

This is a construct that i've used for quite some time now. Is it valid?

I think you should clear some space on your mantelpiece for the inevitable Nobel prize in economics that's coming your way.

You should REALLY fill up your OP with some more words and stuff. Right now there's a couple sentences next to an empty bong. What is a corporation if not a grouping of people? Right of what, and Left of what, exactly?

Yes, of course it's valid. In fact, if the corporations could just figure out a way to exterminate all the people, then they'd *really* make big profits.

If this is the way you define right and left, both the Republicans and Democrats are far right.

Kinda a gross over-simplification no?

Some do, some don't

Insulin/Eli Lilly example. Sometimes it's willing, sometimes it's a need that isn't being met elsewhere. "Willingly" seems kind of flimsy in this context.

If the need isnt being met else where by another corporation it means that the general people dont have much want for that good or service
