Separation of Corporation and State: The 28th Amendment

[HeyObamaCanIGetALoan]

Get Senator Orin Hatch (R - UT) to look at this he's been hot for years to make an historic amendment to the Constitution to validate his otherwise mediocre career.

[sandiegan45]

How we can start the Amendment , am 100% behind this efforts!

[Terri1B]

$40 Billion in pure profit, NO INCOME TAX  and yet we the taxpayers are subsidizing them????

[peepnklown]

A person is a human being (natural person); individual and only through a statue can a group and or corporations can receive such a label but, such statue goes against the state and the federal/national constitution which was created to serve and protect ‘persons’ (the people) thus goes against the foundation of individual liberty. It’s sad that a 28th Amendment is needed but, it seems it is.

This will now be a part of my campaign along with the elimination of federal taxation and the elimination of the Fed. I'm for empowering LOCAL, small businesses through innovation and local economic models.

I'm also for separating ourselves from this dependency on oil through a long list of alternatives.

[Fminorpenta]

@choices1111 You have a campaign going on?

Where are you at in the US?

[choices1111]

@Fminorpenta I'm working on putting together a presidential campaign. I don't know that I would win, but I suppose I could win. My campaign plan is already miles apart from anyone who has run over the past few decades. I'm not going to be going after millions of dollars and every single point will be based upon common sense and the pursuit of truth. Even if I don't win, I plan to force solutions and core causes to the debate stage around the country.

[nikiwonoto]

@choices1111 I don't know who you are, and even though I'm not a US citizen, but I really truly applaud & commend what you're doing.

what the US citizens (and actually the world) nowadays is not another empty trickery promises & lies, we know we all had enough of it and it seriously ruins so many good things.

what we need now is for a president who will seek the truth (and of course no bullshits), and most importantly WALK the talk.

[YouAreALLDumbNblind]

OMG, parallel thinking!! i made a video about this just today. i never heard of you or this 28th amendment... maybe this is the answers to my video question that i will add to you. you are much more educated then i am, so maybe you can answer my questions and i am buying your book tomorrow!!!

[marniespeaks]

secede

[123backinyerface]

Excellent statement and ideals.

That Oil should have been gathered by the people who were trying their best to clean it up, put back into barrels, taken to the homes of shareholders and dumped on their front doorsteps to let them know how it feels.

We haven't needed oil as fuel from the day it was discovered to be used as a fuel. After the invention of the steam engine, we should have focused on water as the most abundant fuel source on this planet, but then water can't be controlled like oil.

[joe80dman]

This Amendment must be specifically phrased, and worded, so as any Supreme Court, or Appeals Court, could not "redefine" it's meaning. Out modern courts have been corrupted, and politicized terribly. This Amendment must be written as to be rock-solid.

[searella59]

What happened there is obscene.

[pure2warrior]

I thing the UNITED STATES of AMERICA is a corp. that would be a good one to strip the government of being a corp. and the constitution hardly exists anymore the govenment has just about destroyed it to think even if it were possible for the people to amend it that suddenly these sold out puppets would start to honor their oaths or the juciciary could or would enforce the constitution.

[pure2warrior]

I think we need a seperation of Rothshcild Central Bank, Debt Issue of money and Extorted theft called tax from humanity. Its time humanity growes up and throws off the yoke of debt slave, rejecting all tax as immoral extorted theft.

[bearhamo]

Corporations as people is wrong. By this definition, people can own other people. They have freedom of speech (cash). They can also live forever.

The 14th amendment made people into corporate citizens. The original 13th amendment said lawyers could not be congressmen. These are evil people. I fully support this amendment.We need to get money out of politics if we want REAL change.

[OldManNick]

Money is the incentive for change. Without powerful corporations, we would be living in mud huts and fending off wild animals. Politics without money is like doing backbreaking labor for free. It's stupid.

[bearhamo]

So how do you feel about today's Supreme Court decision?

[OldManNick]

I like it.

[bearhamo]

You like the fact that large corporations now can own politicians? That we are now officially a fascist country? That your vote does not matter at all? That they can either produce unlimited ads for or against a candidate? That these candidates do not work for your best interests when they are beholden to those same corporations that are destroying small business everywhere and outsourcing our jobs? What do you like about it? Many these same corporations are in foreign countries.

[OldManNick]

Limitng campaign spending would just result in bribes and this keeps it in the public eye, so corporations will lose customers if they are accused of bribery. And our vote still matters, I just don't believe so many laws help like the recalls on Chinese goods.

[OldManNick]

Small businesses should be destroyed if they cannot compete effectively with a good business model and outsourcing is good because it gives people a chance to work at better paying jobs that aren't as strenuous as manual labor. It also pays foreign workers well. People complain that workers are exploited, but expoitation is good. People are exploited constantly for their services, but they get payed.

[martini1179]

Ok, so small businesses should be destroyed, outsourcing is good, foreign workers are paid well, and exploitation is good.

Oh, and the Supreme Court decision that allows corporations to spend unlimited money on political advertising is a GOOD idea.

Right, gotcha. I'd offer to engage you in a debate, but you seem to like to spout illogical nonsense, so I won't. Efficiency is good, too.

[OldManNick]

And they are payed better than the other options, otherwise no one would work there. This reduces our cost. And so what if they are foreign? They can outsource labor to America, like software. So, I like this decision a lot. It gives us more freedom overall.

[martini1179]

Speaking of stupid, let's talk about your "argument".

People were living in far, far better conditions than "mud huts" before the founding of the British East India Company, the world's first corporation. Your argument that people were somehow living in the Bronze Age before the well-meaning corporations saved us from our primitive ways holds no water.

[tsakovs]

OMG - only 1,161 views so far! That is an amazing statement of the complacency and laissez faire attitude of the American people. This idea of separation of corp and state is the ONLY way to save our republic at such a late point in it's ever quickening demise. I am going to help make this viral - this need more support - NOW. And whatever happened to making this a constitutional amendment?

[justanothersheeple]

@tsakovs so yeah, it's time..tired of the oligarchy

[joe80dman]

@justanothersheeple: Well, I tried sharing this, but encountered Server Error, as could be expected! I wished these guys (YT) wouldn't make themselves so obvious.

[silverhawks]

This is a FANTASTIC idea.

It would be like a Second American Revolution and a Second Declaration of Independence COMBINED. :)

[MadIvanpb]

I agree with your points... good video

[morelshaman]

Please send this proposition to Topeka, KS.

We do not have a large corporate presence, and could be first signers to the Amendment.

[crock703]

That's a great idea. Write the Amendment into local Constitutions/Charters and it will spread tot he state level, and eventually force the the federal hand.

That is how sanctions and an embargo against Burma happened in the 90s. US Resource extractions companies blocked federal action against the junta there, until towns in and the state of California forced the issue. Clinton reluctantly sought an embargo to placate supporters.

(counties/towns in Vermont/NH/RI/etc. are great candidates too)

[Psy0pAgent]

AGREED. Strip them of corporate 'personhood'.

[Jigssaw1989]

@Psy0pAgent Who will you sue then ? ... One of thousands of shareholders? One of their workers?
