Corporate 'people' have more rights

| February 2, 2012 6:00 AM

I want to thank Mitt Romney for explaining to me how corporations are people because the money goes back to people. But aren’t each of these people within these corporations guaranteed the same freedom of speech and civil rights as the right of us non-corporate people?

So now, people are divided into two basic groups, human beings and corporate beings. And the new law entitles corporate beings to an enhanced version of freedom of speech. They have the privilege of a louder, more important voice than common citizens.

And who are these people who are corporate beings? Since many of these corporations are owned by international conglomerates, then many of the corporate beings are communist Chinese, radical Islamists and others who do not hold America’s best interest at heart. And now we have given these corporate people a strong voice in controlling the operations and future of the United States.
