You used it to try to support your claim that a business is a person, just as you tried mis-quoting US Code for the same purpose. Saying you're "simply stating" is dishonest at best, considering the post quotes that accompany those responses.
I'm surprised you leave 1% open. :lol:
Not accepting that 99% is the downfall of your kind of Libertarianism. No one wants a world controlled by the corporations except you guys. You should read more about our founders views on the Dutch East India Company.
does a cockroach have rights.....no
does a hammer have rights....no
does a person have rights....yes
if the cockroach is killed, the hammer destroyed are they consequences for those actions ...no....becuase there are no rights connected to them.
but if a person is killed /destroyed, there are consequences for that death /destruction ....yes...becuase government is going to want answers, becuase they are concerned about that life and liberty which was taken.
if a person
had no rights at all like the cockroach or the hammer, his death or theft from him would have no consequences, becuase what is government there to secure, since he would have no rights at all.
when a person owns a business, he has his rights, one being his property rights, to protect himself from theft, fraud, from those who would seek to do him damage.
however a corporation which is not owned one person, but many shareholders.... so instead i looking at all the rights of the individuals of the corporation. the corporation is treated has as a person... one entity, to protect it from theft, fraud, and from those who would seek to do the entity damage.....this is to insecure those assets of the corporation, like property, money, and the livelihoods of the people who own and work for the corporation cannot be destroyed or property stolen from them.
if a corporation was not considered a person
it would have no rights, it would be like the cockroach or the hammer, and fall prey to anyone to sought to take advantage of it, with no consequences.
U.S CODE 29 152 states a business, union, corporation is a person, being a person does not begin when its in bankruptcy, but is a person while it is in business.
as to the 1%, government has 18 powers..its impossible to make it 100%
government is limited as the founders have stated, but it is you that reject that........and for libertarians....no one wants a word controlled by the government, but in the same breath no one wants a world controlled by corporations.
what we do want is for people to have their liberty, and when a person or business violates the rights of another person or business, then we what government to act against those who commit that violation, however we dont want a world where government tells us we cant do things, which do not violate the rights of others or cause no damage to property.
