At least the 2nd can often be honest.

The purpose for the leaders of any for-profit-company is to be "reelected" by not getting fired. The only difference between governments and corporations is the efficiency in which they can act and the people they represent. Governments are forced to include the poor amongst their interests, but corporations already have a bar in place (stock) to keep the poor from having a staked interest in their actions.
Now you'll surely tell me that anyone can buy stock in a company, and I'll preemptively point out that only the rich can afford a stake in a company that will be substantial enough to be acknowledged.
