Reply #81: we can't use our rights to deny the rights of others.. [View All]

Article IX..The enumeration of the Constitution, or certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

many of these issues regarding corporations have never been settled. I often hear Republicans argue that since Corporations do not have the rights of people, they should not be taxed like people. But taxing all forms of income is constitutional thanks to the XVI Amendment. Corporations can or do discriminate..but unlike people, corporations are not protected by the Bill of Rights. Our government has the Constitutional power to stop this, and so it should!! Our elected officials are not doing their duty, when allowing corporations to stamp on the rights of citizens.

If the purposes of a corporate charter are in conflict with the public good, why should these incumbent whores ever win our votes?
