I was under the impression everyone knew corporations exist because of government not the market and/or capitalism, but I learned I was wrong today.

So I will do my best to educate my brehs to just how govt. intervention is the root issue.

Of what? Corporations being sustainable without govt. intervention? No, cause they aren't.


I linked you, the wiki explaining how govt. establishes corporations... If you disagree with this, explain why.

"Eventually, state governments began to realize the greater corporate registration revenues available by providing more permissive corporate laws. New Jersey was the first state to adopt an "enabling" corporate law, with the goal of attracting more business to the state.[17][unreliable source?] Delaware followed, and soon became known as the most corporation-friendly state in the country after New Jersey raised taxes on the corporations, driving them out. New Jersey reduced these taxes after this mistake was realized, but by then it was too late; even today, most major public corporations in the United States are set up under Delaware law."

I don't think corporations are necessarily a bad thing. The problem is their ability to influence politics with their money. Having big, thriving businesses is not a bad thing.

I post a wiki link explaining where corporations come from(govt.), and you guys are asking me if I have any historical basis for this claim...


Liberals I swear.

No counter argument is even given, liberals just don't like it so it's wrong

These liberal posters need to be more open-minded, breh.
