Corporations ARE people… they have owners and stock holders and don’t presume for one second when the government restricts the freedom of a company it does not also restrict someone else freedom it has to. If the government passes a restriction that lower dividends it is taking money out of people/stock holders pockets… money equals freedom. Taxes are the most pervasive form of oppression… not imagined wiretaps for instance.

Are you aware many of the countries we compete with do not tax corporations at all…

Has it ever occurred to you oppressive US corporate taxes may be a large part of the problem and not free trade.

Has it ever occurred to you these corporate taxes are a lot of the incentive for moving jobs off shore and not free trade.

Has it occurred to you these corporate taxes put US industry at a disadvantage for the start line.

We DO NOT need more government intervention… we need less.

The idea that a godless "nature" can give rights is a silly idea with nothing to support it. Without God, "rights" are an arbitrary concept made up by man.

OK, let agree for a moment. Corporations are people. Corporations are people who depend on other people to function. These people are called employees. Corporations profit from the labor of their employees. Why is it then wrong for the society to say that the people who profit from the labor of other people must pay the people that they profit from a minimum wage, define a normal work period and require that they be paid for working hours beyond their normal work period, set limits on the ages of individuals that can be hired, require the corporation to provide employees with a safe work environment, place environmental restrictions on the corporation to ensure that it does not contaminate communities with dangerous pollutants and place tariffs on imported goods to encourage (not force) manufacturers to use local labor to produce the goods that will be sold in the market.

Corporate taxes are not an issue for me. If were up to me government programs would be cut to the bone and taxes right along with them. The responsibility of the government is to print money, enforce the law and defend the nation militarily and those are about the only activities I would fund. Just about everything esle could be done cheaper and more efficently by the private sector.

First, let me note that you didn't even attempt to counter the idea that "god" is arbitrary, so I will assume you concende the point. Does that mean you really think rights are a meaningless non-sensical idea?

Rights are a concept made by man, but there is nothing arbitrary about them. The concept is firmly rooted in man's identity, which is to say in reality.

This requirement exists, it is dictated by man's nature -- every man "has it". The concept of rights is a means of asserting and defining this requirement vis-à-vis the only thing that can violate it: other men. Man has rights because man has requirements that others can infringe.

Granted, there is no guarantee that those rights will be respected and protected. However, as proof that rights are inherent and not granted by others, observe that rights can be violated, but not destroyed. A thief may steal my car, but he cannot steal my right to property. Any subsequent thefts on his part will be just as wrong as the first, because my rights survive, they stay with me no matter how many times he violates them. Rights are inherent in our identity as human beings – regardless of the actions of others.
