Corporations are people.

[kentuck]

But they are special people.

They want all the benefits of being a citizen but they want none of the costs or responsibilities.

They want to be exempt from international law. They do not want to be held to any judicial standards. They prefer to go before a board rather than go before a jury.

Because they are special. Because they are "job creators".

They want no accountability. If they pollute the air and water, that is simply the cost of doing business. If people die because of their actions, they do not want to go before a jury - they want to go before a special board of like-minded business people.

If this were a chess game, the American people would be in checkmate. In fact, the world is in checkmate and the number one chess player in the world is getting ready to surrender the queen.

1. Corporations are not people.

I don't care if the Supreme Court ruled they are people.

Corporations are not people.

I don't care if politicians say that corporations are people.

Corporations are not people.

They do not have blood running through their veins.

They do not have a heartbeat.

They do not have a brain.

I refuse to accept the insanity that corporations are people.

Because of this insanity corporations now have all the rights of

living breathing humans and all the rights afforded corporations.

I refuse to participate in this destructive charade.

Corporations will never be people.

People are people.

It really is that simple and logical.

4. I wonder what the results would be if Americans were to vote on this issue.

5. So what you're saying is that corporations are RICH people.

Or want to be treated as such. Pretty sure that the privileged few get all the same exemptions that you listed.
