Reply #14: well, that still doesn't answer my problem-

[Bluerthanblue]

why is the "liability" for what a corporation does, NOT imposed 'personally' on the individuals who are part of the 'collection'? Those same individuals benefit personally- through dividends etc- ?

If I have part ownership in a corporation, I profit individually when the corporation does well, I can take my money and do whatever I like with it- if the corporation is incredibly successful there are no limits as to how much I can profit individually-

but-

If I am part of a corporation which flounders, and ends up owing others money, or which is willfully negligent and is responsible for costly damages to others, I am protected from losing my 'personal' asserts- even though I'm not restricted from PROFITING individually- The accountability we have as "individuals" doesn't make the leap that the profit does.

That makes "corporate" person- rights ones that are un-equal to individual citizens rights from my perspective.

Can you find the speck of logic in this mish-mash?
