Corporations -- Money

The word "corporation" has no evil connotation in itself. The evil is given it by the law makers, particularly when they grant it enforced irresponsibility in the form of "limited liability" which means that the shareholders are free to rake in the profits but need not worry about the losses, including any harm that the corporation may do to others including employed workers. This is as much corporate socialism as granting corporations free access to the money pot (Fed). Any socialism is degrading and degenerating. Grand theft larceny is as bad as chicken stealing.
Were I to list the very basic rules of government perhaps the second one would be "Government may make no rule that would cause anyone to be less than fully responsible for their life, liberty and property." Something like that. The first rule is exact: "The first rule of government is that all its rules shall have been agreed upon by everyone." Good-by democracy! Of course in an insane society there'd never be a second rule. Perhaps our aim should be towards making people more sane than in making more rules to restrict their freedoms. I have no idea where the First Rule is in use today but I do know that all mudballs are not as insane as this one.
A corporation prints up pretty pieces of paper to give to those who invest in the business. It is just a means of keeping track of the corporation's owners. A smaller association is often called a "partnership." What's in a name?
There's nothing evil about money either unless somebody perverts it's sole legitimate use as a "medium of exchange." It sure beats barter. Of itself money must have no intrinsic value. It needs to be worthless! Its value to its holders should be only in that it can be exchanged for things that DO have value. Voluntarily exchanged that is. There have been several excellent postings here in recent days about worthless money being used in various parts of the world to facilitate commerce. America ran on worthless pieces of paper when FDR closed the banks to save the banksters. Thousands of communities printed up their own paper. The banks opened up damn quick lest the public realize that they needed no thieving banksters. All that is needed is a supply of paper in a constant ratio to the population. That was one of the three original purposes for the decennial Census. The quantity depends upon the integrity of the issuer. There's nothing fraudulent about money per se. Fraud is introduced when usury is added to money use, or valuable commodities are substituted for honest money, or money is given uses beyond its sole legitimate use as a medium of exchange. These three perversions of money cause it to flow into the hands of the few and universal prosperity is killed off resulting in the poor and the rich.
All a society needs is for everyone to agree that "here is our money supply and we shall use this to make our exchanges of goods and services easier to facilitate." Do a search for DEPRESSION SCRIP catalogs. People collect this stuff as they do any other money. We accept the use of the current money supply because it is imposed by force. It is not voluntary. Government produces no services that could be considered as voluntarily exchangeable. It doesn't have to be this way.
