You asked, “If corporations don’t have a moral obligation towards an individual they are doing business with, why does the individual have a moral obligation towards the corporation for the same given transaction?”

Because my morality does not depend upon the behavior of others but is a matter between me and God.

The “But Timmy did it!” excuse expires in first grade.

That old “two wrongs don’t make a right” thing.

The Left: we have a moral obligation to ______ (fill in the blank with dozens of leftist causes, from the welfare state to allowing illegal immigration—all of which can be supported with the Bible), so we must do these things even though they aren’t in the Constitution (our national contract as a people).

vs.

The Right: We are a nation of laws based on the Constitution.

When your logic of “contract morality” is applied to the Constitution it opens a pandora’s box of problems.

You are actually arguing the hard, liberal left’s position when it comes to legal agreements (whether it be the constitution or contracts in general).
