The concept behind corporations as "people" is that people don't lose rights just because they are engaging in their right of free association. The corporate entity only "has rights" because it is a collection of

Counter-point. Public (gov't) spending "counts" in GDP, not because it's "expansionary", but because it's an expenditure on final goods and services. Even if government spending was contractionary, it would count towards GDP. That's just ho
