Corporations Are Not People

Corporations are not people. I don't care if a politician thinks differently. I never invited a corporation over to my home for food. I do not see a restroom that says, "Corporations Only." I have no corporations on my social network. Corporations do not go grocery shopping. They do not cook my food. They don't say, "How's it going? What's up?" No, corporations are not people. They are just legal entities with people working for them. Just don't ask a corporation to come over for a barbecue.

I think corporations are better than people. They have legal rights, and they do not have limited lifespan. The law treats corporations as an entity with indefinite existence.

I agree, when I grow up. I want to be a corporation. WHY? Because they get treated better than people.

It depends where the interest of the corporation lies. If it is hostile to the environment or shelters paying taxes overseas, it may not have the best interest in America at hand.

@zebra2222 It will have the best interest of the shareholders though!

I agree in principle, but do believe our leaders and lawmakers think corporations are more important than people.

Too often that is true.

Unfortunately corporations, informally referred to as corporate America is part of a triumvirate (military, gov't) that is slowly barbecuing the ordinary citizens.
