Little did we know we’ve been corporate slaves in this country since 1871.

What Marxist nonsense. Marxism, Socialism, big government plantationism... that's slavery. Corporations are not evil. You would be living in a hand hewn loft cabin, drinking muddy water and moonshine without corporations you moron. Where the hell do you thing food and manufactured goods come from, fairies? Corporations compete. They occasionally do bad shit. But try walking the isle of aby store and show me something that did not get there without corporate cooperation and capital enterprise. Moron.

Look up the banking act of 1871. US 28 code 3002 15 A B C. It says we are a federal corporation. I’m not saying all corporations are bad. But it is bad when your whole country is under the control of a foreign power and bankers that do not have the people’s interest at heart.

By the way, maybe you will make a more convincing argument if you don’t go around insulting people but instead show others a little respect.

The corporations have spent a lot of money to convince you this is a bad thing. Fuck, without them you might grow your own food, own your home and land, have a large family and a satisfying life. Can you imagine? The fucking horror!

>Imagine not knowing that you can have a well and control your own water supply (I haven't had frequent contact with fluoride/city-water in many years.) Also: imagine not knowing that you can grow your own fruits/vegetables and eat the deer who wander onto your property (in season, anyway.)

Absolute bullshit.

Whether corporations should exist in the US or not was actually debated. Don't even pretend there aren't two sides to the issue. And capitalism can certainly take place without creating imaginary legal entities.

Citizens United can be seen as the final nail in the coffin of the experiment in democracy that was the US.

Um...not evidence, not a rational statement of fact, corporations are legal cooperative aggregations of resources such as labor, plant, equipment and inspiration. Yes you can conduct business as longer without corporate structure, but it's not efficient, lacks capital underpinning and to State your position you are absolute proof that dumb 💩edness exists among the masses. A family, tribe, card club are forms of corporations asshole. Corporation aggregates are natural. Business corporations are modern extensions of nature's desire to streamline such aggregations. Grow the hell up, get an education or eff off and live as a damned hermit. 99.9999% of patriots are corporate creatures, not hermit idiots.

Got to do the same thing! Young me piped up and said "where does your paycheck come from?" to which he hesitantly replied "from your tax dollars". Teacher was very mad at me. HAH!
