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

No, a corproation is an assosiation of people.

People don't lose their rights because they decide to work together.
