A problem with corporations

How do we say yes to corporations when they don't pay their own way?  They take our land , our water, our
natural resources, our air and give us back pollution that they make us pay for.  They say that's all free stuff.
Anybody can use the roads air waves, etc, etc, but who pays for them? You and I and definitely not the corporations.
When they create and invest in something new, they usually give something....not nearly what they take. Think
about the infrastructure that never gets renewed or is renewed at such a low grade, tragedies occur and failure is
laid on someone else's shoulders. (railroad tracks and trains; nuclear power plants, etc.)
 
They make the profit, pocket the money and scream that you and I should pay(and do) to clean up after them.
That's why I refuse to invest in public corporations. They are robber barrons and have only one goal in the
world and that is money. In fact, if they display any other goal they are not acting in accordance with their
charter.
