If our Congress would not represent our interests and instead serves
the interests of global corporations, why should we pay any taxes?

Is it time to renew the battle cry: NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION again?

8. He can act as an individual, but full power of corporation in politics?
It's not a sin to make money. We all have to do it to survive. But when you use the money of your business to shape law, foreign policy, and to even goad us into war, something needs to be done.

Has anyone here said they worship Soros?

He's a benefactor for some issues some of us believe in, but if he sought special advantage for his business, that would be wrong.

9. As corporations, they can get a post office box in the Bahamas,
declare themselves a foreign corporation and pay NO taxes.

3. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION
You got that from the DC license tags didn't you?

They have already adopted the rallying cry of the American Revolution as their protest slogan for not having any Senators and only an NON-VOTING congresswoman.
