Corporations are a matter of people getting together cooperatively to
organize their efforts. How can it be evil for a group of people to
voluntarily organize, and to offer jobs to others? Every aspect of
the process, from the formation of the corporation, to the job offer,
to the acceptance, is voluntary and agreed to by all concerned.
