Incorporating isn't the trouble; usury is this body's sin.
Corporations could play fairly but don't because no law requires it. It is almost always more profitable for the few owners to increase dependence through hoarding, debt, and psychological domination.

Corporatism is corporate control of political power.

These beasts run most governments in the world.
While very wealthy individuals have simlar economic capacity, corporations are not individuals. Their actions are spread over all of the individuals composing that corporation. Each employee understands their local tasks, but are usually disconnected from the final results, or can turn a blind eye.
The government of nearly every nation is influenced through economic leverage of one kind or another.
The primary goal in nearly every case is enforcement of artificial scarcity through finite resource hoarding.
====Typical approach to business:
Wealth concentration through low wages.
Low wages through usury.
Usury through scarcity.

"'Under pressure from polluting industries, the Bush Administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) have begun a rulemaking process that could redefine (and reduce) which water bodies are protected under the Act. At the same time, EPA and the Corps issued a 'guidance' document instructing their field staff to stop protecting certain water bodies.'" -- CleanWaterAction.org/water/dontdump.html
"'A couple of years ago, the National Park Service set in motion a plan to boot most snowmobiles out of Yellowstone National Park. The machines are noisy and smelly, their riders can harass wildlife, and the pollution they emit was obscuring Old Faithful and other beauty spots and forcing rangers to wear gas masks.
The public was invited to weigh in. Three hundred fifty thousand people did so. Eighty percent supported the ban. Snowmobile manufacturers filed a lawsuit. Just recently the Bush administration made its decision public: the number of belching snowmobiles in the park will increase. The administration spokesman acknowledged that public sentiment was overwhelmingly in favor of the ban, but said, in effect, tough potatoes. We'll do what we want to. This despite the public outcry and an internal Park Service study that found banning the machines would be the best alternative for the environment.'" -- www.democracyctr.org/water.html

The "Homeland Security Bill" includes a clause to protect Eli Lilly from both past and future lawsuits related to the ingredient 'Thermisol' used as a vaccine preservative.
The new "Clean Air Act" claims to cut pollution, but does so only with respect to 1996 measurements. The new bill actually increases the allowable levels of mercury produced by coal-fired electric plants.
One tax cuts raises from $25,000 to $75,000 the amount small business owners can write off when buying an SUV for business purposes.
