You really aren't grasping the concept of individualism, are you?
Corporatism, also known as corporativism, is a system of economic, political, or social organization that involves association of the people of society into corporate groups, such as agricultural, business, ethnic, labour, military, patronage, or scientific affiliations, on the basis of common interests. Corporatism is theoretically based upon the interpretation of a community as an organic body.
You're approaching the issue from the point of view of a Collectivist:
Collectivism is any philosophic, political, religious, economic, or social outlook that emphasizes the interdependence of every human being. Collectivism is a basic cultural element that exists as the reverse of individualism in human nature (in the same way high context culture exists as the reverse of low context culture), and stresses the priority of group goals over individual goals and the importance of cohesion within social groups.
The Republican party needs to differentiate itself from the Democrats by establishing itself as the Individualist Right if it ever hopes to effectively oppose the Collectivist Left on actual substance, rather than merely opposing them on style or degree.
Individualism is the moral stance, political philosophy, ideology, or social outlook that stresses "the moral worth of the individual". Individualists promote the exercise of one's goals and desires and so value independence and self-reliance while opposing external interference upon one's own interests by society or institutions such as the government.
Collectivism and Corporatism attempts to reduce politics to the lowest common denominator. They look at a person and don't see an individual, they see a member of this or that group and treat them like single issue voters by pandering to the group in hopes of gaining the vote of that individual. If you're going to pander, pander to the individual AS an individual, explain why your policies are good for every individual regardless of whatever group those individuals may be associated with.
