Though generally when people talk about the USA as a republic, they talk about essential "natural" rights that the government protects that mob rule can not overturn.
Such as free speech. Which as far as i can tell is one of the things OWS wants to overturn... since to stop corporate personhood in campaign finance you would need to essentially revoke the first ammendment. |
oh god a freakin coporation is not a person. wth. lets try this if the head of a corporation is guilty of a crime that whole corporation should go to jail from ceo to janitor. lets start with newscorp.
see how stupid that frame of thought sound

I don't quite understand your analogy here... You're saying that if the head of a corporation is guilty, the whole corporation should go to jail... But the head is the guilty one. If you look at it as Kasz has said, as an association of people and not a single entity, then that statement is completely absurd. If the head is guilty, the head should be punished according to the law. I do not see how that would or should extend to the entire corporation, and I don't think that is the argument that Kasz is making.
