You complain that corporations are in cahoots with government...then you say it's "freedom." They've got you thoroughly confused.

GrantMercury...FREEDOM is not censoring corporations (which yes...are just people, the CEO's of corporations are not magical, they are just people). I have my own corporation, just like most people on here who own their own companies do. And if I want to hire a lobbyist to petition my local, state, or federal govt. on behalf of laws or regulations that would benefit me then I should be FREE to do so.
The problem is when the POLITICIANS refuse to play ball unless you grease their palms.
Corruption like that is rampant at all levels of govt.
I'm not sure if you have much experience in the real world, but anybody who owns a brick and mortar business can tell you that what I'm saying is true.
For decades people just accepted it as a "cost of business" to pay off city hall, county commisioners, inspectors, etc.
You are the one who needs to wake up and see how things really work.
The evil corporations are just people running companies trying to survive and make money.
The politicians on the other hand create...NOTHING. All they do is use their power to squeeze money out of corporations.
I know you won't listen because you don't seem to have any knowledge of how things work. But just do this...
You've been to a strip club before right?
Or have you ever been to a used car dealership?
How about a "regular" bar (not a strip club, just a bar)
Have you ever had a building constructed on property you own?
Have you ever owned a piece of business zoned property in city limits?
If you have ANY experience in those things (and a million more that I"m not listing), then you would KNOW that the local govt.'s are on the take. You wouldn't be the "evil" one using money to influence them, that's not how it works. They come to YOU with their hand out. And if you don't pony up...you're shit gets shut down.
Your whole attitude seems to be that of a sheep who loves govt and blindly follows along.
Hell, you've already completely derailed this thread about Obama Care and the FACT that health care costs and health insurance premiums are going UP instead of down.
The more govt. involvement...the more expensive it's getting.
But rail on brother. You seem to know everything...with absolutely no real world experience to back it up. Just your theories of how stuff would work in the land of unicorns and rainbows.
