>> It is strange because that isn't what I posted. The topic on the table was large trans-nationals. The type that can dominate entire countries and rival governments. The EIC had the power they did because The Crown granted them that power.

Your argument was that the Founders "hated" multinational corporations when what they really hated with the British Crown telling them what to do.

What the Founders definitely, really hated was a government which believed it was entitled to the fruits of their labors -- whether those of individuals or of corporations. There was no concern about wealth accumulation because they believed that's what productive people do.

So, if you want to talk about peoples' misunderstanding of the history you should look at your own.
