The problem is...they are people because they are composed of people. The logic you use to defend the idea that groups of people shouldn't be able to participate in the electoral process extends just as easily to unions, non-profit political organizations like MADD, and even political parties. The fact that they exist for making money is irrelevant, unless you would like to argue that making money is not a legitimate human interest.
- od2m 13y agoThat is a fantastically stupid thing to say.
- saosebastiao 13y agoI'm willing to bet that a lot of your arguments trigger infinite recursion.
- Dalkore 13y agoWhat rights should be given just because people work in a corporation? Flawed argument. Personhood is quite important in our Republic. Only living and breathing humans that are American citizens should be allowed to take part in our politics. Giving corporations a seat at the table is just reinforcing a class-based system like you have in Britain but without hereditary titles. Wealth is power in a market based society. The other is influence and military might. Corporatons have two inhierently because there first use was to concentrate capital (wealth) and limit liability.
