"For crying out loud, that can be changed!"
The only way it could be changed is by a constitutional convention and amendment.
Give it up, or move to Germany, China, etc. By the way, why do workers in all those countries want to come to the evil capitalist U.S.?
"It is simply impossible to understand the U.S. Constitution without first possessing a thorough understanding of property rights. If you traveled back in time to enter James Madison’s mind as he wrote and debated such weighty issues as free speech, the right of self-defense, freedom of the press, and freedom of conscience, but came away lacking knowledge of his and the other Framers’ views on property, you still would be woefully ignorant of the Constitution, and even of U.S. history; for it was a whole series of property disputes that gave rise to both the American Revolution and the Constitutional Convention itself. To understand the rights of property in a constitutional context you must know two things: just how important these rights were to the Framers and just what they meant by the term."
When someone owns stock in a corporation, they own property. The property owners select the board of directors.
