There are different types of companies which is exactly my point, both of you simply talk about "companies" but it's not that simple. There's a huge difference between a company where you have personal liability for everything the company does, and a limited liability company where you are controlling a "legal person" (the company). The latter is, in my mind, definitely a privilege, because society has given you a "proxy" to more freely do business without having to worry about personal responsibility. If we're talking about a company where you have personal liability, it's no more a privilege than having a regular job is. The differences between these two types of companies are very important, and leads to very different consequences.
