Sorry, nice try at injecting corporations, I said consenting parties.

As artificial entities, Corporations are "consenting parties".
When discussing economic matters, it is necessary to recognize that Government extends them priviled advantages over individuals.

So creating "parity" through force is the rightful role of government?

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Government is the institution by which our elected representatives seek to peacefully resolve the conflicting interests of our citizenry. It is an imperfect process.

So you oppose the federal Reserve.

Our domestic economy suffered ups and downs both before and after its establishment.
I suspect that its importance and necessity is greatly exagerated.

And oppose usury laws.

They're largely ineffective.

And you support uniform tariffs on all goods from all countries?

Yes I do.

And the right of consenting parties to do business with whomever they desire in legal goods without protectionist tariffs so high that they defacto deprive them of those rights?

Which doesn't mean you oppose it on the principles you earlier said you hold to.

And oppose usury laws. They're largely ineffective.

Again, you indicate you don't think they are effective but don't oppose them on the grounds that government has no business doing them. "They don't work" is different than you oppose them on philosophical grounds.
