   But what happens if groups of people, i.e., collectivist entities,
form together for the purpose of getting the government to grant
unearned special privileges to them? How will this affect the
marketplace? Well, this has actually happened in America, and the
result is that these collectivist entities with their government-
bestowed privileges have taken over our economy, in some particular
cases to the benefit of some particular individuals, but to the
overall detriment to individuals in general. These collectivist
entities are known as “corporations,” and it is initially puzzling as
to why they are lionized by “Libertarians,” who proclaim themselves
the defenders of individual rights.

   By deliberately obscuring the boundaries between individuals and
corporations, “Libertarians” have caused themselves to treat
corporations as if they were individuals, thereby assisting in the
corporate takeover of America, and the McDonaldization of practically
everything and practically everyplace, all over the globe –
“Globalization.”

   Plainly put, corporations are anti-American. They are anti-
individual. The word “corporation” does not appear in our
Constitution.

Yet, in form and function the U.S. is a corporation... "Watson" a
