"Did the roads leading to them and allowing their supply get built by the factory? How about the sewer lines? etc."

Ahh I see so you deem that there are no private property rights in the USA because the government provides infrastructure to any and all that live and work here.

A capitalist system works because the participants have the freedom to seek profits. Once you start placing restrictions on the system you are on the road to socialism. It is too bad you still live in a Keynesian mindset. His theories were forever repudiated when President Reagan and Maggie Thatcher came to power.

Keynes is dead, Long Live Hayek!

Ahh, I see you're one of those who doesn't believe that a corporation is a social/legal agreement between a group of businessmen and society/government. You also don't believe that a corporation owes anything to the society that sponsored it, built its supportive infrastructure, educated its work force and provided it with legal and military protection in its over seas dealings.

Just for the hell of it, why don't you point out in the Constitution where it says "capitalism" has unfettered rights?

We're in theory of governance here, not the econ sandbox for mental midgets a'la Ayn Rand.
