Here's where I mention in a post specifically to YOU about reasonable restrictions:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1114631/posts?page=561#561
Reasonable restrictions can be placed on them, but they must be REASONABLE and well thought out.

And here's where I first mention cost of compliance:

Your problem is that you take things to far. Duty to the law is achieved through duty to profit, breaking the law is usually unprofitable. Of course sometimes following the law is unprofitable, look up "cost of compliance" in regards to environmental regulation, especially look it up in relationship to Bush's time as governor of Texas.

There's plenty of other places in this thread where I mention REASONABLE and WELL THOUGHT OUT restrictions as a GOOD THING. But since that doesn't fit inside your insult ridden box I'm sure you just ignored them completely.

728 - the 'restrictions you cite - #1

561 - this is a pile of crap - you can't have it both ways:

561 - "Reasonable restrictions can be placed on them, but they must be REASONABLE and well thought out. And when the restriction you want to put on a company is a silly one like "don't import labor" you aren't being reasonable. You're attempting to restrict their ability to make a profit so that people you think are more deserving of the company's labor dollar get it, who deserves Company X's labor dollar isn't your or my call to make, that is Company X's decision exclusively. They earned the money, they decide who earned a piece of the pie."

You don't approve of restrictions. You approve of restrictions that don't restrict, like setting the speed limit at 1000mph.

It is sheer bull.

As the charterer of this corporation, I will allow reasomable taxation - up to 150% of gross income. Just a minimal right to tax.

That's one reference shot down, as totally meaningless.

Another pile of meaningless crap.

497 - "Corporations don't have a duty to any constitution, they exist to make money, they don't vote, they don't fight in wars, they can't be elected for office. They pay taxes, that's about as deep as it gets.

They also don't have a duty to "the people", except for the members of the people that are investors in the company, their duty to them is to create profit so these people have a return on their investment. "

Here you state they have no responsibilities and should not be regulated.

728 - You are pathetic.

I am getting tired of arguing with a lying fool, who will not argue decently. I am hanging up on you.

I am tired. Sorry I am disabled and don't have the energy I used to have any longer.

yes an excuse - but this crap is getting nowhere, and not worth my time.
