Alas, "Patriotic American," while perhaps morally and logically correct, is legally wrong.

"1) Corporations are not citizens."

Corporations have been legal persons under SCOTUS fiat since the 1860's or so. See Korten's WHEN CORPORATIONS RULE THE WORLD.

"2) Corporations have no rights."

The same ruling gave coporations more rights than their employees and other citizens.

"3) Corporations deserve no rights, or protections."

While this may be true, rarely does the law concern itself with "deserve."

"4) Corporations have no right to make or enforce laws."

But they can buy them for the price of a few senators and representatives.

"You've done good patriotic duty defending your country from the corporate enemy, in this case, American Express. Keep the above in mind, and you will never do disservice to your country."

H3ll yes! It's always good to see the bullies, who stack the deck in their favor, lose a round. Now, if we could just undo that part about Corporations being legal persons ...
