This corporation operates on the principles of capitalism which is to say it takes an initial capital to make more capital to make more capital etc. to increase it's surplus wealth and thereby increase the standard of living of its members. (believe it or not this includes the workforce)
It is probably best to deal with these one at a time and I will start with the above statement.
Yours says that this corporation transfers power from the workers to the employers and back to the workers.
No. This is not what it says. Where in my statement do you find this word "power"?
This is nothing more than the definition of capitalism: an economic system characterized by free market in which means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportional to increasing accumulation and reinvestment of profits.
So perhaps I should have written, and reinvests that capital to make more capital.
Is this better? This corporation operates on the principles of capitalism which is to say it takes an initial capital and reinvests that capital to make more capital etc. to increase it's surplus wealth and thereby increase the standard of living of its members.

And this statement does not say that the standard of living is actually increased. It only states that it is part of the principle of capitalism.
My statement is only a restatement of the definition of capitalism and nothing more.
You do not have to agree with the notion that capitalism is the best means for the production and distribution of goods. I certainly don't. It's awfully unfair if you ask me. I am searching for a better system.
This seems straight forward to me.
Does this clear things up ? Can you get past this piece now?
