Where in the Constitution does it say that State Governments are allowed to coerce Corporate Citizens to support a third-party Lobbying Organization?Whether it was a good business decision or not still does not give the government the right to try and overturn it.
I never said that's what gave them the right.
Delta has the freedom to make shitty business decisions, the government is denied the power by the constitution from trying to overturn it.
Where in the Constitution does it mandate tax breaks for airlines?
Where does it say it can't?
If the government is trying to force on private entity to give a financial discount to a different entity, then they are not being treated equally, and the constitution requires the government to give everyone the same protreactgoins under the law. The Ga Senate and LtGov violated this clause, which was a very, very left leaning/liberal thing to do. And you supported it, meaning you are one of the people pushing the country further to the left.
First of all, the Equal Protection clause was written on behalf of former slaves. It's about how our FEDERAL government applies law equally.
Secondly, if taxation were covered under that clause, a pack of cigarettes would be about 90 cents today. A 12 pack of beer around four bucks. The rich would pay the same percentage of taxes as everybody else, and of course, there would be no such thing as Affirmative Action or Hate Crime laws.
