...do I forfeit MY rights as an individual who owns a corporation? At what point do I lose my Freedom of Speech?? What about all of the private business owners who themselves are "corporations"? When did a classification of a business have ANYTHING to do with the ability to render their voice heard?
Remember, our economy is based on Capitalism, and targeting a few large corporations because you disagree with their policies, targets ALL of us. Jamie, as someone who has spent the last 6 years of my life to develop a product, build a company, and achieve a moderate level of success, I resent the premise of your question. My company will probably become a corporate juggernaut in time... and as it is an extension of my person, I would expect (in America) to be able to protect myself (itself), both legally and physically, being entitled to the same freedoms that we are all entitled to under our Founding Documents.
I paid a dear price to develop it, and currently there are many employees and families who depend on it for a living.
Freedom will never be "pretty", it is ugly. People WILL overeat and get fat, Politicians WILL succumb to corruption, doctors WILL misdiagnose ailments, and Corporations WILL err in judgement.
There IS NO Panacea, and restricting Freedom in pursuit of Utopia is death to our Liberty...
It is individuals like myself who have decided to "do the right thing", despite ALL of the obstacles in our way, who provide opportunities for bright minds such as yourself to make your contribution to society... we have a symbiotic relationship. You should be celebrating success instead of denigrating it.

...Think about that, my Friend.
