Government regulates...it does not create one damn thing.
So I am satisfied to say I disagree and will until Hell freezes over....
Without government, there is no corporation. You can have capitalism all day long without government, but if you want to incorporate you have to get the government to set up the legal framework under which a corporation exists.
A corporation is a legal entity. As all things "legal" are products of government regulation so is a corporation.

Go right ahead, but the fact is the definition of "corporation" is this: an association of individuals, created by law or under authority of law, having a continuous existence independent of the existences of its members, and powers and liabilities distinct from those of its members.
I understand that to function a corporation has to be allowed to have certain rights, such as limited property rights.
What I object to is that our government pretends as if corporations have the same rights as I do. That is patently false. My rights come from God. A corporation's rights come from Uncle Sam.
