just saying that our concepts of ownership and theft are often dictated by the 'winners'.

As for Corporations being the "collective expression of individual stockholders who are citizens with rights" I agree that individual citizens have rights according to the Constitution. However "collective" rights are something else. Considering a corporation to be an individual makes for a completely stacked deck. I believe Jefferson would be outraged to see corporations granted that amount of unbalanced power. It is almost impossible for an individual to stand up against the "collective" power of a corporation and I don't believe the Constitution was written to enhance the rights of the powerful over the individual citizen.
