If a corporation is a person, do we have to

[RoeVWade]

If a corporation is a person, do we have to spend our own money to save it, if it is about to collapse, and can't fund its way out of failure just like we treat real people in our emergency rooms?

Just thought it was a funny comparison to make, though not funny funny, just what comes with a comparison to being a person.

1. If corporations are people they need health care

But they need to pay through the nose for it like all the rest of us in the US.

2. they could also be deported

Fox News Corp the person can live out its days in Australia.

3. fortunately we are doing anything to save any corporation

only the banks depositors will get their money back, not the corporation or it's owners / investors.

Not only that but the deposits were, except for the amount SVB sold before it collapsed, safe.

4. Some of them have deserved the death penalty for years

The NRA comes to mind.

5. I'll believe a Corporation is a Person when Texas executes one.

That is a funny phrase I've read on this issue of corporate 'personhood'.

6. How can a corporation be a person? People in corporations already have rights.

Why do corporations get to double-dip?

[StClone]

13. I have asked that and why can money be donated by an individual...

...and then by the corporation they own into politics. If money is the "free speech" of a corporation isn't that twice the free speech?

7. I'll accept it's a person when they put one in prison

[DENVERPOPS]

8. with all

the un-fathomable things we could list, that the Republicans have used to destroy our middle class, destroy our economy, decimate our democracy, and trash our U.S. Constitution.................

The one thing the Republicans have done, which minimizes all the other things, is taking over the USSC and passing "CITIZENS UNITED" in 2010

More than all the others combined, that single act was truly the KISS OF DEATH to America...........

[Codifer]

10. This

Citizens United was the real prize, a way to finance fascism with monies from unknowable agents.

[DENVERPOPS]

14. Dictionary definition of Fascism

The merging of Corporations and Government..............

[Codifer]

15. My standard reply

to the knuckle draggers who don't want the "gummint" making decisions for them is to ask them if it would be ok for Bank of America to define life for them. Or Boeing (Since the McDonald Douglas takeover.)

I guess that any corporation would work but everyone has a Bank of America horror story.

9. Corporations are just bad persons and not citizens at all

The laws made in the last 50 years have made corporations superior to actual citizens.

And since they're not citizens, they are using foreign money to buy all three branches of government (and my local school board).

11. if corperations are people and we have a war and the lottery draft is reinstate

[Joinfortmill]
