In order to think so, one should have enough money for satisfying all his primary needs (food, shelter, clothing) and not worry about them being in place in the future. But once a person reaches this level, greed take over. Well, perhaps, in America people are more altruistic in nature, I don't know. Here, in Russia, I've never seen anything like that. Oh, I heard some talks of it, but never seen any action that was pure and didn't have any hidden goal (like tax extemptions or things like that).
Well, then again, perhaps I'm too pessimistic about humans.

Corporations are also able to do these things, without requiring great amounts of capital. If you get involved in these things, you'll find out where the capital drains are, and how to avoid them. For example, self incorporation allows people to start up without lawyers fees. And where business licenses are required and where they are not, and for what purposes.

P.S. by the way, limited liability companies are the perfect instrument for avoiding liability (and quite frequently - responsibility). Yes, it works both ways - very flexible.
No, limited liability corporations are not vehicles for avoiding responsibility.
