A PERSON "is" a CORPORATION!!! A Corporation is FICTION!! It does not exist in Substance (Active Reality)....ONLY on paper. This is why MOTIONS have to be filed in COMMERCIAL COURTS!! Because the "CORPORATIONS" (THE STATE OF TEXAS VS. BENJAMIN FREEDOM FRANKLIN) don't have any Energy of Their Own.

Your NAME (Title) spelled in ALL-CAPS is your PERSON. (CORPORATION)

Separation of the Real (Flesh & Blood) Man from the STRAW (Juristic Person) MAN is done via UCC-1 Financial Statement.

Amen!

Our Constitution should protect me in and outside of a building, in America. Otherwise where does it count? Stop fighting and start uniting, we the people.

Thank you for this man. You are completely and ABSOLUTELY correct. Corporates should NOT be allowed to control our democracy, exactly!

[deb5561]

The best question I have heard so far. The concept of corporate personhood stems from an 1874 Supreme Court case (Santa Clara Railroad). It is at the heart of the rot of our system of government. Only 5 corps control 90% of our newspapers, radio and television.

If there is another democratic candidate debate, this would be a good one for them to answer too.

LOL TRAILER HAHAHA okay im done now

[Juxtaposed1Nmotion]

LOL you don't even know what kind of government America is supposed to be.

America is supposed to be a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, come on man its like grade 9 civics.

[Juxtaposed1Nmotion]

haha oops, i meant "American is supposed to HAVE a Constitutional Republic." Sorry.

[MikePryslak]

Webster defines DEMOCRACY as:

1 a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.

Oh thanks for the definition, so? Yes America is a democracy, but its NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ONE. According to the constitution and bill of rights and the declaration of independence. No where does in the D.O.I. does it say "democracy".

Democracy is a very bad from of government, where 51% of the population controls the other 49%. In a Constitutional republic you have your rights and nobody can take them away from you for anything.

You couldn't even provide a proper rebuttle.

[MikePryslak]

So, what's your point? My video is about corporations (pooled capital controlled by one or few people) dominating our elections and government. Do you think corporations should be able to dominate our elections and government, and if so, why?

[Juxtaposed1Nmotion]

I never attacked your video 1st off. 2ndly I think your asking the wrong question. The answer to "Do you think corporations should..." is an obvious NO. What were you expecting someone to say "Oh well yes of course they should dominate our elections and government blarg blarg blarg"

I think your asking that question under the presumption on which I agree that these corporations are in fact "dominating" the elections and government.

[MikePryslak]

CNN rejected this video for consideration for the debate because it's more than 30 seconds long. My bad. So, I submitted a 30-second video that hopefully will get accepted. Look at the list of my other videos to watch the shorter version.

Great question, I'd really like to see them answer this one.

[catgil3]

Absolutely. This is a pivotal issue. Rights of Personhood were stolen by fraud in the late 1800's, and have been used exploitively ever since. A resourceful site is reclaimdemocracy.

3 star rating error, actually a 5 star.

Excellent political perspective.

Important information.
