Corporations are owned by the people.....If one does not like a company's position you are free to divest.

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.

You know what I mean't... I will always err on the side of freedom...and limited government....NO EXCEPTIONS...exceptions are the termites that eat away freedom slowly.

If you don’t like a certain Corporation, you DON’T have to buy their products.
