“[C]orporate management getting rich while their companies go broke is just part of the normal
business cycle . . . A lot of money in America is still made the old-fashioned way – by stealing it.”
— Steve Martini

Estimated percentage of U.S. corporations that paid no federal taxes
between 1996 and 2000 is 61%. [per Harper's Index]

“Corporate America contributes 7 percent of the nation's total tax burden,
compared with 50 percent after World War II.”
Mother Jones Magazine, Nov-Dec 2007

“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
— Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 19:24, Mark 10:25, Luke 18:25)

Corporations are considered 'persons' with full legal rights under all sections of the U.S. Constitution – especially the First & 14th Amendments – as the result of intentional interference by a California court clerk. That court official, J.C. Bancroft Davis, was previously employed by railroad companies in the East, i.e. the equivalent of a modern lobbyist.

The central case, Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Company, was argued 26-29 January 1886; the decision was filed 10 May 1886. (A partial basis for that decision was purjured testimony by railroad hireling Roscoe Conklin during the San Mateo County v. Southern Pacific Railroad case of 1882.) A later significant case, Lochner v. New York, was argued 23-24 February 1905; the decision was filed 17 April 1905.

More recent developments include the 'Powell Memorandum' of August, 1971 in which soon-to-be-nominated Supreme Court Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr. [1907-98] advocated 'constant surveillance' of textbook and television content, as well as a purge of left-wing elements that opposed corporate dominance. (He was then a lawyer for the tobacco industry.) The title of the documant was "Confidential Memorandum: Attack of American Free Enterprise System"
