Substantiate your claims, I don't need to substantiate mine - mine are facts.
What totalitarian Marxist got the needle for murdering 2,000,000 Cambodians in a 4-year span??
What totalitarian Marxist got the needle for murdering 65,000,000 in China over a 25-year span?
What totalitarian Marxist got the needle for murdering 65,000,000 in the USSR over a 12-year span?
You want me to keep going?
What North Vietnamese Marxist dictator regime murdered upwards of 1.3 million people over a span of 40 years??
Wow the evil capitalists eh??
Who said we supported that either? Nice strawman there Nick.
The dumb motherfuckers that sell Marxist literature at progressive events, the dickheads progressives who walk around in their Che Guevara t-shirts... The morons that keep the "little red book" in their back pocket, the labor unions that run around spewing shit out the naked communist, the fucking progressives that implement authoritarian and collectivist ideas in a individualist nation.
Progressives are either one of two things - Marxists or stupid.
Considering that the majority of progressives are government er taxpayer dependents, the notion that businesses are treated as individuals for tax purposes is alien to them because they don't pay taxes and have no idea why a perfectly good profitable business isn't excessively being taxed in this crisis to support them for nothing.
Are corporations people on taxes?
If so why cannot I take expenses to work as a deduction. Gas driving to and from work, clothes, my education, etc. Corporation takes all these deductions including their half of my SS contributions which I cannot deduct my half.
I also have never seen a corporation in prison for crimes.
And they have even less birth certificates than Obama does.
The 14th Amendment itself is a joke.Corporate personhood should be reverted back to pre 1886 law. At this point, there was limited liability, but corporations could only be chartered for a specific span of time and for a specific purpose. Lawyers made a mess out of it as usual. To argue that corporations should have the same "rights" as an actual person made the original intent of the Fourteenth Amendment a joke.

I don't know who you hang out with, but I've never seen any of those thing save the Guevara shrts..and they are usually young punks that don't know what the fuck they are saying anyway.

I thought Romney was trying to say that corporations are made up of people, just like the gov't. People work there, people invest their money in corps, when you denigrate a corp you are really denigrating the people who run it, no? Same as the gov't, if you denigrate Congress you're really pissed at the people in Congress.
That I think was Romney's point, my Lord is it really worth arguing over?
Ron Paul says corporations are not people.

Stereotypes and over generalizations make for extremely poor arguments.

Repeal that monstrosity and the rest just goes away.
Yes, rights for minorities- what a monstrosity!
The problem is not with the 14th Amendment. The problem exists because lawyers, being the scum that they usually are, used the 14th Amendment to further corporate interests. What is most disturbing is that the courts actually allowed it.
The vote in support of state and federal legislation that would end so-called "corporate personhood is largely symbolic. But activist Mary Beth Fielder, who spoke in favor of the resolution, called it a symbol thats going to be heard around the world. The council resolution includes support for a constitutional amendment that would assert that corporations are not entitled to constitutional rights, and that spending money is not a form of free speech. City Council President Eric Garcetti, the resolution's sponsor, said such actios are necessary because big special interest money is behind much of the gridlock in Washington.
He blamed a 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Citizens United vs. the Federal Election Commission, which rolled back legal restrictions on corporate spending on the grounds that political speech by a business entity should receive the same 1st Amendment protections that people do. It allows corporations and other groups to spend unlimited money on behalf of candidates, although limits on how much they can contribute directly to candidates remain. The flood of money since Citizens United is literally drowning out our voices, said Garcetti, who is running for mayor in 2013. If were going to be moving forward in this country, we need less special interest money in the political process.
Councilman Richard Alarcon, who also supported the resolution, said corporations are trying to take over every aspect of our lives. Corporations are at the wheel of America, Alarcon said. And they are driving us to destruction. Corporations, of course, are frequent contributors in Los Angeles elections, and each of the council members who spoke in favor of the resolution have been the beneficiaries of such spending. Since 2007, for example, Alarcon has received nearly $5,000 in campaign donations from three corporations and their political action committees: Clear Channel, Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures.
Around 100 people showed up to support the resolution, including members of Occupy L.A. There was only one dissenter, a man dressed in jest like the mogul from Monopoly. He was there to represent the wealthy, he said, before pleading with the council: "Please don't vote for this." For the record, 3:36 p.m. Dec. 7: A previous version of this post referred to Mary Beth Fielder, who spoke in favor of the resolution, as an anti-corporate activist. Fielder says she is not anti-corporate, simply against corporations having undue influence in politics.
