Not evil, but the sole reason to form a corporation in the US is to
evade personal responsibility. My daughter formed a corporation, and
for that reason. When the previous owner of the company went broke, he
had to declare personal bankruptcy. He lost everything. Fortunately,
he had nothing to lose. My daughter took over the company (same
employees and customers, but of course, legally not related to the
previous company) by forming a corporation.

Then again, why should someone's health and retirement be tied to their
job? I have a number of relatives in Germany, and they can get a job,
or switch jobs, with no consideration to those. My cousin's wife went
from being a social worker to opening a day care in her home. In the
US, most people would have to think long and hard about losing their
health and retirement benefits. Not her.
