Yes, really. And as someone whio supports the free market, I expect you to agree with me that those who paid for their business through corruption, military force or outright theft are not really deserving of ownership.lOriginally Posted by Crazed Rabbit

"free market"
Free for who? The consumer or the corperations?
Being honest, a "fair market" would be a noble ideal, if any. Freedom for rampaging exploitment isn't.

There is absolutely no reason that a corporation, non-profit, or union should be allowed to give money directly to political parties. There is also absolutely no reason that a corporation, non-profit, or union shouldn't be able to make independent statements stating their own political views.
