Corporations are economic entities or structures, and yet they're allowed to fund political candidates, and when those candidates are elected, guess who gets in the door first? It's corporations.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Corporations are not people. They shouldn't be funding. They shouldn't be funding campaigns at all.
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.
Corporations are not in business to be social-welfare organizations; they are there to make money.
Corporations are a fictional entity that are designed to make money, and they're neither people nor patriots.
Big corporations have money and power to make sure every rule breaks their way; people have voices and votes to push back.
The corporations don't have to lobby the government anymore. They are the government.
Corporations serve an important purpose, but telling people how to vote isn't one of them.
If you run a corporation, your job is to maximize the return on investment for your investors. Good for you. But by the same token, we have to remember that corporations have no compassion. That's why legislation and regulations are necessary.
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 created by the people, acting through their governments. We grant them corporate charters that confer certain legal rights and privileges, like the ability to enter into contracts, limited liability and perpetual life.
