Berwick: Well, your honor, again, I think it comes down to the fact that the corporation and the owner truly are separate. They are separate legal entities.

Corporations are legal fictions forced upon the people by tax law and liability law.

Corporations are people. They are owned by people and run by people.

Even large corporation are still run by people. The presidents and board of directors are elected by the share owners. The major share owners take great interest in who these people are. If the major share owners care what the moral values of the leaders of the company are they will vote accordingly.

You can not separate the moral values (religious values) from the people and the businesses that they run.

Many people believe that you can not legislate morality but the truth is that you can not help but legislate morality because they are one and the same; moral law informs society’s law.

I fear for my country because the laws that I see coming out of our legislature reflects a society that I no longer recognize as a Christian society.

Maybe we should eliminate corporations and change tax law and liability law accordingly.
