Corporations don't have the legal right to take my property or harm me or my family. The two aren't equal.

unless we're talking Blackwater where legal is what you make it.

  Sorry. I definitely left out GSEs and govt. contractors in my response. There's certainly some grey area there.

Yeah, no bank has ever foreclosed on someone's home.

  That's a bogus argument. A mortgage is a private agreement between you and a bank. A bank foreclosing on a property without a mortgage (as at least Bank of America is alleged to have done on several occasions) is a tort that should be litigated and a crime that should be prosecuted.

    So it's a private agreement? I don't understand your point. You agree to pay a certain amount and if you don't a bad thing happens. When it's a bank and a mortgage, you lose your house and your family is harmed. When it's the government and taxes, your wages are garnished and your family is harmed. Having a banking system helps people buy houses and having a government helps literally everything a society does.

      It's not your house, it's the bank's house. That's what a mortgage is.

        Yes, and had you read my GP post you'd know that everyone in the topic agrees that BoA should be litigated against for damages by the affected homeowners and the people ordering the bogus foreclosures charged criminally.

  The bank owns the home, not the occupant. As the other person said, that's a bogus argument.

If said corporation wields enough power to be able to take your property at will, "legality" isn't going to stop it.
