Corporate America has benefited from âReaganomicsâ with record-low taxes and increased influence through broadened lobbying capabilities.
However, a challenge awaits, as our democracy itself is threatened from within. Corporations employ and serve a diverse pluralistic society. American capitalism will help decide if they value truth, decency, nonviolence, inclusion and diversity enough â if all men are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights that include life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Recently, some corporations â by speaking in favor of our democratic ideals against voter suppression laws and bills in Georgia, Texas and 45 other states âhave sparked a broad backlash, including from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
