In capitalist markets, corporations can only buy and sell. They can't hurt you, but socialism changes things differently.
Example, you hear from lefties that profit is a form of theft. Well Big Government INC. profits by stealing your money through taxation and distributes it to its executives and managers (Bureaucrats, case workers, social workers, teachers ETC.) and gives a dividend cut to its investers, in the form of SSI and welfare.(Democrat voters IE: Welfare queens, drug addicts, illegal aliens, bums, ETC.)
You can't run a government like a business and have a free nation or a free market. It's not possible. They accuse Trump of wanting to make the government a business, too late, under Democraps like Hillary it is. We're they're biggest resource.
We will not enter the fight until we have lost everything. Let me repeat that, we will not enter the fight until we have nothing left to lose.
There are exception as always but the general rule is true. Watch what happens when we take away all the welfare and govt money. That is the only way many are being controlled now.
But you missed the point. Our Founding Fathers worked hard for what they had. They didn’t want to lose their wealth any more than you and I. Are you willing to give up your house and retirement plan and other wealth for the cause of freedom. I doubt you are that noble. Neither were our Founding Fathers.
Back to the point. The Founding Fathers were thinkers and understood their wealth was lost already, even though physically not true. It is ONLY when we mentally lose everything that we will not be controlled by the government.
By the way, most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence DID LOSE EVERYTHING.
