Hold Yourself to a Higher Standard

I don't think business is innately bad but I do think that business is naturally not humanitarian. It's business. Nor do I think that government is innately good, but I do think that we can hold ourselves to a higher standard through our government. 
For instance, in South Africa they have a massive squatters problem; ending apartheid meant abandoning basically holding cells for black persons who were violating apartheid laws by being with white persons. So they now have these massive buildings that are filled with homeless persons, many employed, who just cannot afford to live in the housing that is available, so they're squatters. 
But when Nelson Mandela and the post-apartheid congress in South Africa were building this new form of government, one not based on racism and oppression, they were writing laws that held them to a higher standard. And so they included laws that gave squatters rights. Their laws state that a squatter cannot be removed from the property, even thought it does not belong to said squatter by definition, unless the government can provide for the person a humane living situation. 
So the SA government is scrambling to build housing, human housing, for these homeless persons, because their laws say they have to. Because it's the right thing to do. 
They even offered these homeless people trailers, but they knew their rights and refused to move without full running water and sanitation. 
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. 
At the time, they certainly didn't live up to that statement, nor do we now, however, we build these standards, these laws, so we can hold ourselves to them. So we can BE the people that we want to be. 
So yes, I think government should do more good than business. Yes, business can do good, for sure. But that's the anomaly, not the archetype.
