When a Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reidsky, or Obamy can deal a company a death-blow (dictate winners and losers), why should it be barred from defending itself?
With the government fingers (and money) in so many large corporations, I have to admit I am concerned about corporate money being used to elect politicians who will give them my money. Worse yet would be use of my money they already got to participate politically in the election of corporate welfare proponents.
I am thinking that the feds are terrified of the idea that hundreds of small businesses could spring forth ..... and all of them would be in-state firearm manufacturers. I love the idea!
Corporations are not owned by the people. Corporations are owned by some people. Most stock that is bought and sold isn't voting stock.
The biggest problem I have with corporatism is that corporations are given the same rights that people are. That cheapens the rights that we have. The people's rights come from God. A corporations rights don't. So no matter how wonderful the corporation, my rights trump theirs. Sadly, this is not reflected in law.
It also confuses some otherwise clear thinking elected officials. They gave corporations the rights they have, so they can take them away. Sometimes they get confused and think that means they can take rights away from the people too.

It is our job to remove the people listed above however, when George Soros, SEUI, ACORN, AFL-CIO, can flood the advertizing market with their progressive garbage I maintain that WE THE PEOPLE lose. A business is free to run ads in papers or on TV to defend themselves but their money poured into the political coffers is disrupting the process.
History proves what we are doing is flawed. How else do you explain so many socialists, communists, marxists, revolutionaries in the current administration?
