The moral of the story is Corporations are evil.

Which, of course, is inherently wrong. There is nothing intrinsically evil about corporations. Most businesses in the US are, in fact, corporations (particularly of the LLC variety). So unless you want to say every small business is evil...

No. But the rules of the game are set up to push them in that direction. Probably not deliberately.

Capitalism is based on the fact that consumers can control businesses by a feedback loop in purchasing. The problem is most of the larger corporations now days can control that feedback loop by limiting or eliminating the flow of the key information which would affect that feedback loop. Capitalism is the "best" economic model out there right now, but it's flawed to it's very core.
