all business exists for the benefit of the state, then.

time to start the revolt if they win. can’t live free under such a wicked, twisted government.

we’ll make some extra needed changes to the constitution to prevent such tyranny from occurring again. no justices for life. term limits on all fed offices. no alphabet agencies with any power to create regs with the power of law. no hundreds of thousands of armed federal agents. back to dc limits for them.

all business exists for the benefit of the state, then.

All corporations exist for the needs of the State, because legally they are extensions of the State and find their creation in the State - that's why they can be taxed and regulated BY the State.

But corporations are not businesses. Corporations can DO business, but they ARE created by the State for the purposes of the State. As such, they offer a certain level of indemnification that many people find appealing - and so, in incorporating, they make their deal with the devil.

I'm not denying that evil people use this construction for evil ends. I'm just saying that their is, indeed, a structure to it, and strict rules it follows. And it is voluntary, and it is NOT the same as human beings working together in an UNincorporated business.

The Constitution is fine as is. Adding more words to what is plainly obvious will not make it more obvious. The problem is enforcement, to wit defending the plain meaning of those words against sneaky infringement upon the boundaries thereof.
