So, if the government is to confiscate Nestle’s rights to the water on its own property, should it at the same time confiscate other privately owned mineral rights? Perhaps private entities shouldn’t be permitted to own and develope oil or coal or natural gas or iron ore or copper or gravel either.

The answers to these questions should be before Congress, etc,. It is now happening that 'Agenda 21', is preventing farmers from doing many freedoms they have enjoyed in the past. Private property is one of the prized laws in America. Still there are rules and regulations, limiting the same. Many I disagree with ... EPA protections of various types of prairie chickens or water creatures, or some such. Not all regulations are superior to the needs of the nation. Some are.

Are you communist? Marxist?

Under the Constitution, individuals have rights, not corporations.

Corporations, like the environment, have no rights. American citizens are the only entities that have legal binding rights in a constitutional republic.

Your comment is very troubling considering Nestle isn’t even an American company anymore, but is demanding ‘rights’ as a globalist entity that harm American citizens.

Let me clarify for you.

American citizens have unalienable rights from the creator.

Corporations exist when the are granted charters from the citizens with the unalienable rights.

This charter does not transfer rights to non human entities as you pretend it does.

The charter can also be revoked by the citizens with unalienable rights. Which is what we should do to Nestle for violating the trust of the American people.
