Corporations and People

"No, Mitt, corporations are not people. People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they love, they cry, they dance, they live and they die. Learn the difference."

-Elizabeth Warren

I understand how corporations are people from a legal standpoint with regards to contracts and such, but we can't send a corporation to the electric chair or deport them so no...

Not legally people in all aspects.

Slightly concerned tbh. The more I hear about Mitt, the more I fear. And there is an ocean between us.

Lucky you. But he has a lot of overseas investment. And he spent some time as a missionary in Europe.

I hate the ruling that made corporations people. I am all for business rights, but it took it way too far and made it nearly impossible to take actions against a corporation. It's robbing actual people of their power.
