Perhaps the most important change occurred when the U.S. Supreme Court granted corporations the full constitutional protections of individual citizens. But it was done anyway. By applying the 14th Amendment to corporations, the court struck down hundreds of local, state and federal laws that were enacted to protect people from corporate harm. Of course, a corporation cannot be jailed. In effect, the U. S. Supreme Court bestowed natural rights on un-natural creatures, amoral beasts that were created to serve selfish men.
Corporations are machines.
Sometimes we become concerned about a large corporation closing a factory, putting 5,000 people out of work, and moving to another country. Or else we attribute the problem to the moral decline of the times we live in, or to the failure of the regulatory process. Seeing corporate behavior as rooted in the people who work within them is like believing that the problems of television are attributable solely to its program content. With corporations, as with television, the basic problems are actually structural. They are problems inherent in the forms and rules by which these entities are compelled to operate.
