Don't agree with everything in article, but thought my thread title would get some looks, and perhaps some discussion.

How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it except the pleasure of seeing it. Adam Smith

Some good things and some bad. One thing that was cleared up for me was what is meant by "Corporations are People". On the way that idea was presented, you can build a good case for eliminating double taxation. You could even get me to support taxing dividends and cap gains at regular rates if that were to happen.

It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything.
