If corporations are people then they are people who continually shirk their responsibilities, easily over ride the interests of actual people, cause damage to society and the environment far in excess of what a single person could do and are practically impossible to punish for their wrong doings. If a person such as that lived next door you would hate their stinking guts.
BOY are YOU so on target! YES EVERY DAY ALL Corporations are :
1) killing their consumers!
2) Destroying ALL PROPERTY!
YES these CORPORATIONS are like the BORG!!!

Return to when there was NO Rice Crispies.. NO KFC! YES LET's DESTROY them before these evil corporations ORDER their cars to KILL all their drivers!
Isn't that totally STUPID... much like YOUR comment!!!
She's right. Corporations are not people. The Supreme Court ruled incorrectly.
What I absolutely love are the idiot baggers on this and other websites defending that highly activist supreme court and their decision to eliminate democracy once and for all
these idiot baggers actually think it is a good thing
If corporations are people how is it fair those people get to have the rights as people and the rights as corporations too?
that gives the "people" who are the corporations extra rights non corporation people dont get.
dont you get that
Corporations have a legal personage. This means that a corporation can be sued in court and can defend themselves. Corporate activity can be regulated. Corporations pay taxes, and when the money is distributed, the people who receive it must also pay taxes which is corporate double taxation.
If corporations had no legal rights, they would not have any legal obligations either. There would be no corporate legal obligation not to pollute a waterway for instance. No one could sue a corporation. A corporation could not commit a criminal act. Most importantly, they could not be taxed at all. None of the profits made in foreign countries would be subject to a cent of tax.
It doesn't give the people in corporations rights extra rights. They have the same rights as everyone else, one of which is to be able to sue a corporation for wrongdoing without actually having to identify who, in that corporation, did anything wrong.
Corporations as legal entities have standing in the courts. They are not people.
A corporation gets taxed. When people in a corporation get taxed, it is as individual separate from the corporation. The individual tax is not a tax on the corporation.
There is no such thing as a double corporate taxation. The double taxation argument is an imaginary construct meant to confuse and distort.
In the court system: Justice is blind. Evidence can be thrown out as inadmissible. Not guilty does not equal innocent in our system. Legal entities are not people.
You're a liar. The USSC said corporations are people. Next.
Corporate personhood is the legal concept that a corporation may sue and be sued in court in the same way as natural persons or unincorporated associations of persons. This doctrine in turn forms the basis for legal recognition that corporations, as groups of people, may hold and exercise certain rights under the common law and the U.S. Constitution. The doctrine does not hold that corporations are "people" in the literal sense, nor does it grant to corporations all of the rights of citizens. wikipedia
If they are "people" as you claim they are then I want haliburton put to death for electrocuting our troops in Iraq

If you want those rights, all you have to do is buy a share of stock, or incorporate yourself.
A corporation can serve time in prison for a crime?
very very very very very very very rareA corporation can serve time in prison for a crime?
People who are members of the corporations can serve time in prison for committing crimes. Just ask Bernie Madoff or Michael Milken.

It is? So taxing the profits before I get a return on my investment isnt a tax I pay?
Laughable.

are unions people? How about schools, churches, your favorite sports team? What about the naacp, or the usmb? C'mon guys, all these things, including companies and corporations, are organizations of people. The argument that organizations are not people is a shallow one; it is nothing more than a political device used by the left to demagogue organizations they don't like without offending other organizations they do like, or those who support them.
I know that a corporation is not a person.
its a legal filing between real people who as people already have full rights
It just seems like equivocation from all sides on the 'corporations as people' issue. Saying 'corporations are people' is about like saying 'teams are people'. It's true to an extent, but corporations are a specific type of organization that gets special rights granted to it be its corporate charter. That's what we need to be discussing. Are those rights justified and valid? Should they be changed?
I certainly don't see how people should have LESS rights because they are part of a corporation.
Evidently YOU"VE never formed a "corporation".
A "corporation" just doesn't spring into existence.. i.e. people decide to the term is:
"incorporate".. that is a group or individual wants to for example which MOST people do is to protect those personal assets from risk of loss.
Most corporations are formed to protect individuals rights!
correct it is a protection umbrella for persons, but not a person itself.
The main problem with corporations as people is that they apparently have free speech too but they are the ones who get to use a megaphone. They get to be the squeakiest wheel in all cases, even the ones that do not directly effect them.
