well if that's true, then why can't an 'individual' exercise their 'corporation' equally ?

Are you stating that the government of the US is not a corporation? Can you state beyond a reasonable doubt that this country's government IS NOT on any books as a corporation?
The government *HAS* a corporation, but does not exist solely *AS* a corporation. As I understand it, this is the case with most countries.

Yes, I can state that as far as I am aware, that beyond any reasonable doubt the actual Government of the United States is NOT on any books as a C Corp or an S Corp or even a 50(?) C Corp.
Okay, so let me rephrase. Is any form of representative government of this nation listed anywhere as a corporate entity?
If either are true, then people should be able to use these same "laws" or rules or what ever you want to call them, in reverse. Is that not correct?edit on 14-2-2013 by ajay59 because: (no reason given)

why would i borrow what doesn't exist in the first place ?
ETA -- and to take that one step further, if i trade property for property, what business is it of the government ?
they are tasked with protecting my rights, not restricting or infringing upon them.

Earl Howe
In 1776 he was appointed to the command of the North American station, where, in his sympathy for the colonists, he tried conciliation. When France declared war and sent a powerful squadron under the Count d’Estaing, Howe was put on the defensive, but he baffled the French admiral at Sandy Hook and defeated his attempt to take Newport in Rhode Island by a fine combination of caution and calculated daring. On the arrival of Adm. John Byron from England with reinforcements, Howe left the station in September, returning to England.
