If corporations are people, as the Supreme Court wishes us to believe, they are stunningly unpatriotic ones.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
With Citizens United, the Supreme Court's declaration that corporations are people, the whims of one can silence the voices of millions.
The idea that corporations have the same First Amendment protections of free speech as people is troubling. Corporations are not people. They don't attend our schools, get married and have children. They don't vote in our elections.
It's crazy that the Constitution has to be amended to clarify what for the majority of Americans is a clear and true statement: corporations are not people.
Corporations aren't people. They have no brains, no consciences, no capacity for intent or guilt.
I don't think we should view corporations as people for the purposes of speech.
In my view, a corporation is not a person. A corporation does not have First Amendment rights to spend as much money as it wants, without disclosure, on a political campaign.
I don't represent corporations.
The corporations don't have to lobby the government anymore. They are the government.
Corporations that are formed for the purpose of earning profits do not have the constitutionally protected rights that natural citizens have. They should not spend their corporate dollars, Treasury dollars, to influence outcome of elections.
Corporations are a fictional entity that are designed to make money, and they're neither people nor patriots.
