I have to agree with what Trump said........... ( gosh, hell has frozen over?)

1. I don't agree with Trump. It's far better to prosecute the thieves,

put them in jail for their crimes, and obtain a judgment against them so that they have to pay for that which they stole.

You can't leave people stateless--they'll run to Russia and chum up to Vladimir.

[truebluegreen]

7. I have no problem revoking the "citizenship"

of corporations.

[clarice]

8. Then where would all of the people work? For the Keebler Elves ? THINK !!!!! nt

[truebluegreen]

11. WTF are you talking about? SPEAK!

[clarice]

13. Very simple...if you revoked/closed the citizenship of corporations....

Where would people work?

[truebluegreen]

14. Same place they worked before corporations

were recognized as "citizens"....that is, PEOPLE.

[clarice]

15. A noble thought but noble thoughts don't pay the bills. nt

[truebluegreen]

16. I don't think you have a clue what I'm talking about.

WTF does corporate personhood have to do with paying the bills.

[clarice]

17. Ahhh at last !! WTF is Corporate Personhood....? even spellcheck couldn't figure it out.

it sounds like a term that Stuart Smalley from SNL might come up with.

[truebluegreen]

18. Oy vey.

or just do a site search on DU

[clarice]

19. Don't you roll your eyes at me !!!. lol

It still sounds like a term made up by some English Classics professor at Hunter College. Have a great and
prosperous weekend.

[ET Awful]

25. Perhaps this will help you understand the concept.

[MADem]

20. Now that, I am fine with--because I've never believed that "corporations are people, too." nt

[clarice]

21. They are not...however the working force within.....

that corporation ARE people and shouldn't be penalized for a company's short sightedness.

[MADem]

22. Well, they won't lose their citizenship. That is what we were discussing, initially. nt

[truebluegreen]

28. I was trying to express the thought

that corporations can't be citizens any more than they can be people. Especially in this age of multinational corporations.

[MADem]

29. Well, I do agree with that.

I don't think money is speech, either. Were money speech, then the poor are, in effect, muzzled.

[truebluegreen]

30. Very true.

[KamaAina]

2. ...

[dixiegrrrrl]

3. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

[pangaia]

26. Don't laugh.

There IS a Hell, Norway. I've been there. near the airport north of Trondheim.

Beautiful area, right on a huge fjiord..

4. Good news!

These corporate rogues need to be reeled in. Good on Trump.

[clarice]

9. UMMMMMM . nt

[CTyankee]

5. I agree with him on his response to cruz on New York. I thought he was actually

very thoughtful and respectful. His tone was just right.

[clarice]

12. OMG !!!!!! Are you a free thinker???? Shame on you.

[CTyankee]

23. I wouldn't vote for the man and I sure wouldn't marry him (no chance of that anyway).

But I'm not a Republican.

[spanone]

6. he's full of shit.

[clarice]

10. Please elaborate. nt

[maindawg]

24. Taxes

He may have been talking about Mitt Romney. I wonder if the Donald will be handing over his tax records. The reason that citizens united is absurd is that corporations don't have natural born parents,aren't born and exist all over the world.

[pampango]

31. "I wonder if the Donald will be handing over his tax records."

Or the record of how much money he made through several corporate bankruptcies.

He knows how to sound 'populist' but his actions and specific proposals are anything but. Fortunately, for him, his base listens to his rhetoric and gets fired up while he screws them behind the scene.

[Duppers]

27. He has also said a few thing about the GOP

that we agree with.

[KingCharlemagne]

32. Capitalism is a rigged game but, within its rigged structure, corporations are not

stealing resources. The entire game is rigged to benefit capital at the expense of labor.

[dixiegrrrrl]

33. "corporations are not stealing resources" ?????????????

When Jeb was gov of Fla. he allowed Nestle to suck up Fla's largest aquifer for their water, for a pittance.

The oil companies have taken our oil and gas for decades, paying pennies on the dollar of the value, and sometimes not even paying that.

Same with coal, lumber, etc.

If I force you to accept a nickle for something of yours that is worth a dollar, that is theft.

[KingCharlemagne]

34. Ah, now I understand. Perhaps we can agree on the following proposition:

Capitalism is an economic system based on the exploitation, often unfair, of resources, whether natural or labor.
