Individual human rights and liberties should transcend or out-rank the rights given to corporations.

This will be my final argument, so I will try not to add new parts to the argument. "While you admit that regulation is needed to limit the negative impact of these corporations, it is my assertion that such corporations should be outlawed if their activities are known or proven to be deadly to individuals or the general public." If you look at the technicality of it, every single corporation that creates a product is deadly to the public or to the environment. We spray our food with pesticides and inject them with growth hormones, we drill oil and refine it, we put up nuclear power plants, we burn coal to power our cities, we release gas into the atmosphere from the cars we drive, etc. 90% of all human made products either were made in a non environmentally friendly way, or release things upon construction that harm the environment. What you claim would be something unimaginable. It would be even worse then Socialism. First, what you need to understand is that not everything we do helps the environment. Most things we do harm it. "This same food is sold unlabeled in the U.S. to unwitting and financially cornered individuals." This is a quite cynical thing to post. Products are made for the consumer, and the consumer wants cheap products. From what you write, I will guess that you do not understand the root of economics, so I will explain it to you. When supply is low, and demand is high, prices skyrocket. Since people cannot afford these products, the demand goes down, so does prices. To keep demand and supply at the same level, we use GMO's. These GMOs contain hormones that make it grow faster and larger and more resistant to pests. I find no harm in this. "At the heart of this debate is the question of whether the profits or profitability of corporations overshadows or overrides the safety or right to life and liberty of the general public." This is rather vague. In the U.S. and many nations in Europe, as well as Canada, Japan, and Australia, there are many regulations that defend the people vs the corporations. In nations such as China, there are not. You are stating that person-hood is bad, and that corporations do bad things in AMERICA, which they do not. We have health codes, and violating those codes gets you a hefty fine. We have a minimum wage, which I find stupid, but you have to pay all adults at least minimum wage. There is no such thing as "violating the right to life". You also said liberty. If anything, our government is violating our liberty. They are stating that we have to serve homosexuals even if our religious view conflicts with it, they are stating that we need to remove the Confederate flag, etc. Corporations have done nothing but fought for liberty. They value freedom of speech. You also argued against my freedom of religion example. Once again, it was an example. It was an analogy. I was comparing government and the American people with corporations and the American people. I do not believe in lee ways or tax exemptions. I believe in a truly free market. In true Capitalism. I believe that corporations cannot receive special treatment, nor can they be undervalued. People should not receive special treatment either, nor can they be undervalued. To tell you the truth, a multi-billion dollar corporation is more important to our country and our economy then some uneducated swine working at a factory. Corporate charters is a stupid concept. It states that you need permission to have a business. This is Socialism!!!!!! "If we are to be honest, the only reason for the world's dependence on oil is because the global elite have a vested interest in its continuance" Now you are just spouting nonsense. If we stopped using oil, our world would cease to exist. Need I remind you, without coal and oil there would have been no Industrial Revolution. We would still be using swords and rowing wooden ships. Without industry we would need extreme slavery. Without oil we have no plastic, we have no cars, we have no automated factories. Without plastic, we have no technology - no phones, no computers, no calculators, nothing. Without technology we have no advancement of our society. And a lack of societal advancement is prevalent in African and South American nations, and you can see that those nations are not doing exactly too good. Let me elaborate. Nations such as Colombia have extreme poverty and a large drug sector and human trafficking sector. Nations such as Liberia have extreme poverty, corruption, lack of funding, no education systems, no sewer systems, no modernized housing, etc. "While this may be partially true, corporation in the U.S. are mainly moving to avoid paying livable wages to employees in the states and to create tax shelters." This is true. They should not have to be forced into paying a certain amount of money. This goes against the free market. If I hire you, someone else does not get to dictate how much I pay you. It is inarguable that our economy now relies on skills and a good education. Minimum wage jobs are for high school kids so they can pay for food and save up for college. They are not so you can have a family of 4 and mooch off of our stupid welfare systems. Let me talk about tax shelters. The corporation pays a corporate tax, which in the U.S. is 35%. This means that ALL corporate income is taxed 35%. We have a higher tax rate in that sector then Canada, which is a deeply Socialist- oriented nation. The reason why China is outlasting our economy is because they now have more of a free market then we do. They have very low taxes, very little regulation, no minimum wage, etc. China does need a minimum wage, because so many of their people are poor. We do not. We have one of the highest standards of living, while 12% of the people in poverty live in China. The one thing that you have failed to do is to clarify what deadly activity actually is being done in the United States. Since you have not done that, I will do it for you, and then counter each one. 1. Nuclear power plants are a giant source of our power. As you know, these power plants are pollutants, but they do not release any Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere. The only waste these produce is nuclear waste, which we then put into landfills far away from the public. Each power plant creates around 750 permanent jobs and 1400 temporary jobs. Illinois is one of the largest power consuming states. 80% of Illinois power comes from nuclear plants. We have 6 power plants in Illinois, which is approximately 4500 permanent jobs and 8400 temporary jobs. [1] 2. Unsafe working conditions. If you have ever read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, you will see how people used to work. Now they do not. Those same conditions are prevalent in China. We have extreme restrictions on how people can work and the conditions they work in. For example, there has to be fire exits in every single factory. Everyone is given protective gear if the job requires it. There are gloves and sanitation stations in factories to make sure that people are clean and the product remains clean as well. There is paid sick leave. There is medical insurance that you are given. If you lose a finger on the job, you can be granted a large amount of money, depending on the finger.[2] 3. Politics. This is where it gets very specific. There are lobbyists that sit around trying to get our government to give tax breaks and so on. This should not happen, and I agree with you on that part, but for a different reason. You need to look at how much money it costs to keep a business running. Firstly, a third of you money is taken away, so that is lots of profits lost. Second, you have to pay wages and medical and so on. Thirdly, you have to pay people that make the parts that you need to make your product. For example, a technology company such as Sony will need to pay AMD or Intel for the processors, NVIDIA or AMD for the graphics cards, different companies for the RAM sticks, hard drive, and then they get the case and assemble it all together. They just lose out on a lot of profits. I do not believe in tax breaks, I just think there shouldn't be a tax in the first place. We need to lower spending, get a much better budget, and then we can afford to lower corporate taxes to around 15% at most. If you believe so firmly that companies who endanger people and the environment should be demolished, then why do you spend money on electricity, gas, a computer, or any other factory made or naturally extracted products?
