> There's also the point about corporations: corporations are an invention of the government, only exist because the government approves of their existed, and (technically, although sadly not done anymore) can be disbanded when they act against the public interest. You can't separate corporations from government. Corporate taxation schemes are an invention of the government. The idea of multiple people joining together to participate in commercial activity is actually a fundamental, natural right guaranteed in the constitution. By all means, remove facebook's classification as a corporation. That does not remove the individual shareholders rights to band together to form an entity like facebook in a partnership (which is not regulated at all like a corporation). You do not any governmental approval to form a partnership of any number of people with the name 'Zuckerberg and partners'. And thank goodness for that, because Mr Zuckerberg has a fundamental, natural right as an individual to engage in commerce, just like you and me.
