Mossback: "The Rights of (Corporate) Man"
Individuals today have fewer rights than corporations. Individuals are protected by the Bill of Rights, but an American corporation gets that and more. It can exist in perpetuity; it has limited liability; it receives enormous tax breaks and government subsidies we mere people can only dream of; it has a regulatory system designed to protect and enable it. (Clear skies! Healthy forests!) To top it off, corporations avoid the responsibilities of citizenship: It is their right to behave as selfishly as possible. They can betray the public that ostensibly sanctions their existence.
The rights of man? They're nothing compared to the rights of corporate man, a Frankenstein of increasing power.
This is scarily on the money. A recommended read.
