    True.

    True too, but corporations allow individuals to risk capital (money) without risking personal assets. By allowing people to invest in a company without being an actual owner and libel for the debts should that enterprise fail, it allowed people with disposable income to take risk at a reasonable rate of return. Where corporate law gets screwed up is when government intervenes and you get things like bail outs because a corporation is supposedly "too big to fail."

"His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    No wonder you rarely make any threads, you lack the self-control to even stay on topic w/ your own topic......

    No one needs to hijack your threads, you do it yourself..... Fuckin funny when trolls troll their own threads.

    And I told you what Biden thinks thirty some posts ago, not what you claim that he thinks "we don't need no stinking stock market," but rather that America should move away from the Gordon Gekko ethics in business, which again, I do believe most Americans wouldn't find a problem

    He's a politician, what are you expecting?? Someone like yourself, a man of truth, honestly, integrity, justice & the American way, able to leap tall buildings in a single bounce??
