Corporatism is really the worst form of capitalism for the everyman. It doesn't put his interests first, it puts corporate profits first. Yes, corporate profits are good for the economy, but only superficially. If the everyman is too poor to afford to buy things, the bubble can only last so long. Unfortunately, when it bursts, it tends to be the everyman who foots the bill to save it. Kind of like paying for your own noose, in a way. Side: Yes.
Certainly, both parties are beholden to corporations and special interest groups. We need to reform campaign finance, prevent the revolving doors between industry and politics and outlaw the legal bribery that accompanies it. In doing so, the politicians will be made accountable to the public rather than to private interests and thus will start acting in our interests instead. Side: Yes.

Of course not. Jobs are a good thing Jobs are not a good thing if the individual you expect to do a job does not want to do that job. The system should not be forcing people to do things they do not want to do. The clear evidence of that is the massive spike in mental health problems. Side: Yes.
Jobs are not a good thing if the individual you expect to do a job does not want to do that job. That's the fault of the individual who has the job but doesn't want to do it. If they don't like it then they have the ability to leave, more likely than not there are others who want the job and will do it. Yes, doing what you want to do may require sacrifices, but those are the problems you need to take responsibility for instead of whining that you can't do what you want to do. Side: No.
