I believe I also have the right to say, "You betcha I will, you ugly tyrant," and vote my secret ballot as I please without my boss having any way to know.
In a free market your boss has the right to tell you who to vote for as a condition of employment. And you have the right to quit and look for another job.
I'm confused as to your position. Are you saying that corporate owners have rights, but only if they directly make the decision for the corporation? They can't elect a board to make decisions?
So you're saying that corporate shareholders have...
I think the practical result of limits on campaign contributions is that incumbents have a huge advantage.
Where I really disagree with you is the idea that corporate owners don't have rights equal to anyone else. Nothing will turn us into a 3rd...
But earlier you said the owners of a corporation should have the same rights as anyone else.
And Ron Paul agrees with me:
Ron Paul's position on campaign donations is rooted in strict First-Amendment absolutism and opposition to any government...
Corporations are made up of people.
The owners of a corporation have the same rights as anyone else, therefore they should be able to donate as much as they want, just like anyone else.
I think there's 2 things going on here. One is the usual hatred of big corporations. Two is confusing immigration by invitation with unchecked mass immigration.
It's the liberal "soak the rich" attitude that annoys me. It's the last thing we need right now.
You make it sound like we're allowing LLCs to exist by permission. An LLC is just a contract. You'd have to forcibly ban contracts to ban LLCs...
According to Ron Paul the H1B has some serious flaws. My point is that in a free market the owner of a business should be allowed to hire whoever he wants.
