wow, the lack of knowledge in this thread is hilarious...
i can guarantee you that most small incorporated business have pierced the corporate veil by not running their corporations properly..
in general, there is more mis information about corporations as a result of people continuing to pass bad information around..
spend the extra money and go see an accountant or attorney when you set up your first corporation and you will learn everything you need to know..
and make sure they are versed in the state laws of the state you decide to incorporate in..
