> Citizens have absolutely no interest in enabling and empowering corporations unless they serve the community in some way.

Citizens have absolutely no interest in enabling and empowering corporations unless they provide them with a beneficial service/product(s). I seriously doubt most citizens/consumers understand (or care about) the philanthropy implied by your statement. Do you really think people around the world would stop using google because they prefered to hire non-local folks? Some super small minority of folks (the 'locals') might care, but the vast majority of their customer base would be none the wiser.

> and not really consumers or anyone else ... and the population derives no benefit ... then those people would vote to disable the very concept of incorporation

No, they'd go bankrupt because their business model didn't include a viable way for them to survive.



Hiring locals is not philanthropy and people generally care quite a lot about it, that's why ABC corp can't hire anyone in the world and just bring them to America.

Remember that hiring foreigners doesn't just mean 'work' - it means bringing them into the country and all that entails.
