We voted for this. We voted to cut taxes, cut public services, line the pockets of the 1% and send profits and jobs offshore or pay no tax.
No I did not vote for any of these individual policies. I just voted for a political party. Both major political parties have been in power since I have been voting. All the political parties are responsible. Not once did they ever consult me as an individual and ask would I like a certain policy as you mentioned above. I do not accept personal responsibility. Either political party would have done the same.

We tolerate greedy corporations and sociopathic CEOs
Most people don't enjoy working for a sociopathic but what can they do ? Either accept the job or be unemployed? Or perhaps go on strike or take Industrial action ?

Look what happened several years ago when the workers protested (were taking legal PIA) and got locked out. What else can people do?
