Title: Corporations are people too.
Post by: Jasper on January 25, 2010, 08:02:47 PM
Corporations are people now, which sounds like bad news, right?  Wrong.  It means that there is now a precedent for corporations to be psychologically evaluated and 5150'd, or put on death row.  This is inherently a good thing.

ITT we plot to put this on the ballot.

I'd like to see them cut out the middlmen, and run for public office.

I'd like to see them pay taxes, instead of getting gifts consisting of our tax money.

No not the people that work for the corporation, the actual corporation should be drafted.
Corporation can't show up for draft, since the USA is permanently at war thats draftdodging in wartime.
What''s the punishment for that again?

Liability

If they are citizens, then they are liable. No more of this "limited liability" bullshit. Full responsibility for ALL actions.

corporations should be allowed to adopt

corporations should be allowed to get married, even to corporations of the same sex

they should go to jail if they break the law

they should have the right to bear arms

and most importantly, they should get to vote!

So, AOL proposed to Time Warner, and they were in a poly marriage for a while, but then Time Warner divorced AOL.  :lulz:

I say we run with that, owning a corporation, or part of one, should be considered a crime.
