SoCal Deek Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 12 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: Why? 1. Corporations have free speech rights, just like real persons. See U.S. Const., Amendment 1; Citizens United v. FEC, 558 U.S. 310 (2010). 2. Conditioning state benefits on the content of political speech is per se unconstitutional. 3. [it gets worse] Part of Disney's exercise of its free speech rights was its statement that it would no longer provide political contributions to supporters of the so-called "Don't Say Gay" law. The Governor expressly stated that he was encouraging the legislature to repeal a benefit provided to WDW in response to the content of Disney's political speech, including political speech as it occurs through spending. I get that people think it's fun to slap back at the libs. You think we'll just continue to take it? Hahah, just watch. But what happens when the tables are turned? This is an awful precedent, whichever side of the political aisle you're on. Respectfully….Wrong. Corporations should refrain from commenting on legislation that has nothing to do with their business product or services. Blurring the lines between the corporate and the governmental worlds is how Russia ends up with Oligarchs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's really laughable is that the libs have spent the last seventy years exclusively using the government as a sledgehammer to enforce sweeping social change, but DeSantis scores one win against them and all of a sudden they're libertarians. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for liberals! You are admitting Dems made the country better through social legislation? Nice. All while fighting the Conservatives who wanted to keep blacks down, women in the home and gays in the closet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I hope everyone sees what you just did. Your original comment that I responded to said that if corporations do speak out on issues of public policy, they should lose any special tax/regulatory benefits they were given. Quite a different concept, isn't it? One is about what we think corporations should (in the exercise of their own prudence) keep their mouths shut about. The other is about what a government should do if they act imprudently. Should Congress exempt Tesla buyers from the electric car tax credits if Elon says something the Dems don't like?
