Corporations are just like people! They should have all our rights!

We just need to invent ways to make them bleed, suffer, die, and rot in prison forever, just like the rest of us "actual people." And every 60-90 years a corporation should die and have all its possessions split up between its kin, instead of just recycling CEOs and shareholders and growing forever.

Real people don't get to own things forever. Corporations do. And apparently now that includes the government.

They do need to fix the laws.  That i'll agree with.

Doesn't really make much sense that coprorations are treated as individuals when they are, well groups of individuals. 

Restricting a corporations free speech doesn't restrict the free speech of the people the corporation makes up.  

However, that's not current precedent.  We need laws otherwise to change such things.


I'm not sure how much this really changes... there are the doom sayers... but once again, this just brings us back to the Bill Clinton era of politics.

It's going to be bad, but hardly the corporate run bordello state and death of free choice lot of people are making it out to be.

 

Well outside how much of case that already is, just based on the dichotomy of our system.  As long as there are only two dominant parties corporations will control both.
