        Isn't that called Feudalism? It's nice to know what people like Senator Schumacher really want when they feel comfortable enough to ask for it, but I am pretty sure that his comment "nobody else has done it," shows a real ignorance of history and pop culture.pic.twitter.com/r5qCIPhMkv

        Why stop at corporations? Given that corporations are people (per SCOTUS) then give people equal rights to corporations. This will end badly but who started this nonsense?

        I believe they already exist. They are called "reservations." I doubt the inhabitants would be interested in his proposal.

        Brings to mind a story a friend told me of working as an expat in the North of Thailand-the Golden Triangle. On a quarterly basis he had to declare income the tax office. There he encountered a guy he called a "Thai Mr. T", dripping in gold chains. He was the tax collector.
