Just like money, banking and finance,
the history of corporations in America, and its ramifications toward the erosion of individual rights and liberties, is something for which very few people are aware.
I didn't read the whole thing, so I don't know all of what their angle is, but the above quote is exactly correct. Corporations are creatures of the State, but we've so come to accept their place in the market, and their standing in politics and under the law, even going so far as to grant them equal status with individuals with RIGHTS--that we are now used by them routinely as human shields; as if all "persons" were created equal. Which they are not. But those lines are blurred beyond all recognition now, and free and natural individual Citizens are the losers every time. SCOTUS and the lower courts routinely uphold laws that relegate rights to privileges (often under the Commerce and Necessary and Proper Clauses), for no other reason than that it COULD apply to corporations.
Limited liability is only one way that [now practically immortal] corporations have artificially surpassed Real Individuals in terms of their own superiority in the eyes of the law, in terms of rights, powers, duties and obligations. However, just like everything partisan stems from someone not wanting to part with their favorite artificial economic advantages, there are otherwise liberty loving people who can't tell the difference between themselves and a creature of the state--especially when they slop from the State privileges trough, and are one themselves. That's when cognitive dissonance kicks in, and they start rationalizing from their own self interest, which has nothing to do with a truly free market.
