This is the windmill I've been charging at with my lance for decades now. I have had more success than most in "piercing the corporate veil," but that is not saying much.

But shareholders can "pierce the corporate veil" going the other way. That is basically what the US Supreme Court decided in the Hobby Lobby case.

Based on their personal religious belief that birth control was evil, the shareholders pierced the corporate veil to use their corporation to force its employees to follow those beliefs. Those shareholders had a "right," according to the Supreme Court, to deny birth control from the health plan sponsored by the corporation.

What the Supreme Court ignored is the fact that those workers earned that health care by their labor. The shareholders should have no more right to tell the workers they can't use their health plan for birth control than they can force them not to spend their paychecks at a pub.

What if the corporation failed its shareholders pledge to "honor the Lord in all [they] do by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles” by not funding the health plan which is part of the compensation for the workers' labor, "before the sun goes down" as required by Deuteronomy 24:15? Could I pierce the corporate veil the other way, to make the shareholders responsible for the unpaid labor? Fat chance. It generally takes proof that the entire corporation is a fraud to do that.

Despite all these obstacles, I am proud to say that I have managed to kill many corporate persons, and hope to kill more before I retire.
