Sovereignity, sovereignity ... who has the sovereignity? That is the question.
The Cornucopia of real wealths opens fully only when that question is answered correctly. And in what passes for an answer from "free trade" crowd these days is nothing but excuses for theft. Grand Theft of that sovereignity.
"We the People" are the sovereign here in the US of A. That is the FIRST statement of the Constitution. That FACT of the national charter is DUE all the respect, fealty, and honor accorded the very similar statement of G-d, Himself, in the charter given to Moses at Sinai: "I am the Lord, your God, who led you out of bondage!"
No corporation or limited liability partnership exists without charter from a nation, and those WE have chartered OWE US WHATEVER DUTY WE SHALL LAY ON THEM.
It is not the Corportation (whatever "internationality" it may falsely claim) who is the Master -- although that is in too many ways the trump of the Senate and Beltway -- it is US. Moreover it is a DUTY we may not be absolved up or give up.
Because "We the People" are merely agents of our own Master, that same Master Who directed Moses himself.
It is a solemn and dread duty, and to fail at it will be our death and ruin.
