Didn't you see the Citizens United decision? Corporations now have more rights and privileges than living citizens. The law has to protect them from us, because we might otherwise be at the door with torches and pitchforks trying to assert our Natural Rights.
And to quote some of our more dogmatic radio jockeys, "Why should we do anything like the rest of the world? They're a bunch of (bleep)ing Socialists/Communists! We're Capitalists and that means we always do everything better!"
