Then why do you act the shill?

I don't. I speak for myself, about my own opinions. I'm not expressing the ideas of others, either for free or for pay.

You defend the corporation over what's best for your fellow humans.

No I defend what's best for people, whether it hurts or harms specific corporations. For examples of the later, I opposed subsidies and special targeted tax breaks for corporations, and I oppose restraint on trade, like government granted monopolies, or import barriers, despite the fact that such things will help some corporations.

I just recognize that corporations are not some evil force, or on the whole practically harmful. They provide far more benefit than harm.

Uh......no one said it was illegal

You called it extortion. Extortion is a crime.

It not only isn't a crime in the legal sense, its not a crime in the broader moral sense. Its not some horrible wrong.

Its YOUR free markets in action.

Taxes are not the free market, they are government action.
