The simple fact is, corporations are not people. Corporations are designed to insulate corporate activity and the owners from limited financial liability. It was never designed to provide citizen rights, criminal liability protections, and broad spectrum financial protection. Factually, it does not. But... As with most things fucked in this country, an idiot (corrupt?) judge is behind it. A judge ruled that corporations are people. Then, over night, contrary to law and the US Constitution, legislation from the bench (which is illegal) declared corporations to be people. Our entire country was transformed.
People need to understand we are no longer a country of laws. The rule of law no longer exists in the United States. Well, it does, but only for the middle class and lower. Even the IRS admits there are three sets of tax codes in the Country. There is the congressional tax code. There is the IRS' interpretation of US tax code. And there is the US tax code, as interpreted, bought, and litigated by and for corporations. None of which is constitutional.
One of the indicators we have returned to rule of law is that corporations are no longer protected as people. People are always to be held accountable for financial and criminal wrong doing. Corporations were never intended to provide the broad protection and rights they enjoy today.
