That's an awful lot of faith in something that has never happened and will never happen due to the perverse incentives that drive government to relentlessly expand itself. No regulatory agency (or any other department) is ever going to voluntarily downsize because if you're the head of that agency, you don't make your career by making your agency less important. So if allowing corporations any sort of political voice or legal redress is this absurdly controversial, where does the impetus come from to ever streamline the regulatory environment?

Governments will always be wasteful, they will always play favorites, and they will always interfere with personal lives because the entire scheme is predicated on coercion. The apparently terrifying free market is not. Expecting the former to protect you from the latter seems incredibly backwards.

The only real reason people see corporations as evil now more than before is because of the economy. We ordinary people are losing our houses, jobs, everything... while they get more and more profit. It frustrates people, it frustrates me. But, it the big flaws of capitalism like widening inequality and unemployment that only become obvious in recession. If the "free" market was thinking of long term profit rather than the quickest buck it can make, i'm sure things would be fine. It don't help when government seemingly encourage such short term profit through tax cuts and deregulation (especially during Reagan's and Bush Jr's terms). A certain level of governance is necessary at home, through tax rates, regulation and even nationalisation for some key industries. What Obama (and most modern leaders) are doing won't help the economy. This bill would make cause monopolies such as Monsanto to happen more often rather than create free trade and remove necessary regulation key to our quality of life. 

That my friend is a very good question.  Unfortunately any policies that might be put in place are controlled by the governments but given they are in it for their own gains they aren't likely to make big strides towards creating more diverse politics.  I'll be honest and say right now that sovereign rule looks more appealing, at least you have someone at the top of the tree to accept the blame rather than a bunch of lying pigs out to deflect the blame onto others and dare I say back to the poor public mugged into voting for them. 

The only choice you make is who gets to line their pockets for the next few years, it really is depressing for me.  I vote because I hate to see my "right" wasted but I really do feel its pointless now.

Just to highlight a personal annoyance of mine in the UK.  We have serious budget defecit issues yet our goverments all do very little to tackle some of the more obvious route causes of public spending increases.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise more people are leaching benefits from the state than ever before but little is done to solve the reasons for this.  Sure the governments pretend they will act tough and take benefits from people but they aren't actually solving any of the reasons why we are at this point.  Wages are too low, cost of living is too high, we have more broken families producing more single parents dependent upon the state.  Stupid EU policies have driven up costs for employers making them less likely to employee people.  The list goes on and on but the government will never tackle these difficult issues as they might lose votes.  Instead we'll whine about climate change and talk about changes that make bugger all difference.

The only real way to get noticed is to protest and that isn't guarenteed to work. I'm now old enough to vote but not sure if to bother in 2015, we all know Labour will win and i'm not sure if they are better than the current coalition (cons and fid dems). Our government are cutting the wrong areas and too quickly and they obviously favour the rich with that tax cut! Why do people vote for them?! Politicians can do amazing things for their nation if forgot the stupid shit in their ideologies. Not only is there the issue of fraud from benefit "scoundrels" (as you said wages are too low here) but it's really the issue of tax avoidance from the rich and numerous companies that is the problem. Remember Amazon, Starbucks etc. That's barely scratching the surface. Most companies avoid their tax, but MP's let it slide. That's abig part of the problem. Wasteful council spending is another but also high levels of immigration into the South East over the past 10 years. It's all built up into this economic fireball. People can make a real difference if they overcome their self interests. We the British have alot of problems, no simple solution could fix but it would help if we had MP's who understood everyday life and not be born with a golden spoon in their mouths!

A corporation (including every employee) is - and am being completely serious- legally A PERSON. except that corporations can never dies.

The idea of waking up is something that would scare people.  People want to think they have choice in political matters they really don't.

Well considering that the US isn't a democracy in the first place it wasn't that hard. (Its a republic.) People said similar things about NAFTA, etc. I doubt the parts about being able to circumvent laws will pass or be protected by the courts.

Not so far in they've given up soverignty.

The number one issue for conservatives have been soverignty.  Heck some bush officials were for leaving the UN.

They wouldn't compromise anything that would allow them to lean on other countries.

A corporation can die, when it becomes bankcrupt. Currently many are on life support (government bailouts)

its funny republicans bash obama for being republican
