Corporations are owned by citizens. Those citizens have constitutional rights. Siezing the assets of a corporation = siezing the assets of a citizen.

To not have such an elementary understanding of how things work is just baffling to me.



Yes. People have rights, and those rights come with responsibilities.

And again, yes, corporations, individuals, criminal gangs, they can all have their assets seized at various times and under various conditions.

I'm not sure which part of that you think is news to me.


Those corporations operate under license.

Said license comes with terms.

Said citizen has a voice in those terms same as everyone else.


What are you talking about? Everyone knows corporations are owned by tiny white men wearing tuxedos and monocles.
