I knew that article was going to be posted. Could you have found a less subjective article on the topic? How about one that spends more than half on the actual founders or at least one that doesn't have factual inaccuracies?

It is fair to say the founders experience with businesses such as the East India Company made them leery of corporate power growing into political power. When the founders writings are viewed comprehensively and not cherry picked for quotes you clearly see a desire for small/limited government based on a system of strong state governments and individual liberties. Their take on corporations would have more than likely been similar to what our separation of church and state has evolved to in order to maximize freedom and limit influence. They would have wanted to keep business and politics separate but that is a two way street.

As long as we are doing quotes though, how about the mantra of American colonies that spurred our independence.

"No taxation w/o representation."
