Well now that you mention it, articles of incorporation ARE a privilege granted to investors with the expectation that the increased commerce will benefit the general populace of the issuing government. And government has the right to revoke such corporate charters when corporate actions are detrimental to its citizenry.

They aren't a priviledge, it is a right to organize yourself as you see fit. And the corporation doesn't exist to better the general population - although it is an inevitable effect. And since when did communists take over FR? Are you sure you are on the right site, advocating that the gov'ment can take away my company if it does not benefit the population?

I think this is where it becomes apparent who the real opponent of freedom are and who the closet national socialists are.

Wrong. Through the act of incorporation, investors voluntarily yield their individual rights for the privilege of limited personal liability.

Really? So being shielded from personal responsibility is your right and not privilege? Or should the owners/shareholders be liable personally?
