  What did you mean by them being artificially created as artificial entities? They have more economic rights than a person and more protections that a person. They are not the same.

  a corporation is not a person but because of government action they have the privileges of an economic person. Corporations are artifical entities.

  Of course thry are not a person. They are a corporation and in so being they have different protections and privileges than a person does. That's why people choose to incorporate. They are very real.

  From a legal perspective they have been referred to as an artificial person but they are a very real entity as a corporation. They economic opportunities and legal obligations are very different between a corporation and a person.

  And the legal liabilities.
  
  If a burger flipper is fired due to racial discrimination, do they sue the $9.00/hour manageror do they sue McDonalds?
  
  Funny how the mouth breathers don't mind corporations when they are being sued.

  gosh a sole proprietorship would seem natural business organization, no need for government to create them, as with most partnerships. corporations are given privileges by government that micmic an economic person and then chartered by government. They are soulless, conscienceless entities created by government and for our protection be closely regulated for government.

  It's not a need it's a want. Sole proprietorships, LLCs and all other registered corporate veil protected entities have very different protections and economic opportunities than an individual person. They are indeed soulless. They are very different than a person...but they are very real and hardly artificial.

  corporations are created by government with privileges given them by government. they are artifical creations of government who are given the privileges of an economic person.

  The govt doesn't create corporations at all. It's nothing more than a classification subject to certain rules, laws and taxation. The PEOPLE organizing a business decide how to structure their business and how it will be classified. An LLC, one of the most common form of business structures, is not even a recognized tax class by the IRS.
  
  Sorry, but the govt doesn't "create" these organizations, the owners do by checking a box, essentially. The implication is without the govt these organizations don't exist, and that's flat wrong. The govt doesn't go thru a process of saying "ok, you're business is an LLC....yours is a LLP....yours is C-Corp....yours is an S-Corp". The govt doesn't create it, the shareholders do and then register it for recognition.
  
  There's also such a thing as an unregistered corporation. It's a corporation, and it exists, but the govt has absolutely nothing to do with its existence.

  Artificial creations of government? So Apple, IBM, Shell Oil, the Dallas Cowboys, Ford, United Airlines, NBC, Sara Lee, Wal Mart, etc. were all created by the government? Please elaborate....this should be a hoot. :rolleyes:

  The government doesn't create the organizations, but it created whatever form they choose to set up their organization. They "check the box" for the entity that best shields them from taxes and personal liability. Obviously such a thing would not exist in a free society, as it takes the threat of government violence to collect taxes and to shield someone from personal liability.

  Corporations, derived from a latin word for "body of people", would still exist without government. There are also many business reasons to have them, and actually they would exist fully within the realm of business law to address a variety of issues. The government basically came into play to add some uniformity, especially across borders, and to assess taxes.
  
  Because, at the end of the day, a corporation is nothing more than a group of people chartering together to operate under certain rules and laws, both with customers and themselves. To say the govt creates a corporation would imply stripping or denying the registration means the business wouldn't exist, which is absurd. But for purposes of conducting more efficient business, the govt forces businesses to structure in known and consistent ways. Trade and accreditation groups do much the same to ensure members adhere to certain standards.
