  • Corporations are not people. Anymore than a house is a person because it has "people" in it. And the fact is the 14th can be amended to change the bullshit that corporation are people. Anyone who argues other wise is pre-empting debate and is highly likely to be a corporate apologist are just full of shit. If the 18th amendment can be repealed then the 14th can be changed.

  • These are true Americans! This makes me the proudest man ever to be living in LA. Good job.

  • well as they say, monkey see, monkey do...and maybe that's the point. So if anyone is humble monkey out there, there's only one way to make sure you're not being bamboozled, go out and certify it. Find out how to secure the 'legal-person' that is attached to you and leave this act to the actors. They (these actors) need orders in to make a better society by 'we-the-people' Shit, people know! No more waiting for some 'act' of 'god' to change shit. Big EFF-U to all tricksters. Your lies are seen

  • Who are these respective actors... twisting the issue around. If you've ever been to court and know how the money flows outta escrow and how the constructive trust is created and try to execute a discharge with certified notice you will see that every actor in there plays "dumb" regarding who the beneficiary, and who the trustee is. Trying to administer the legal-person via the donor is well guarded process. Typically, its always the tax office that 'can' collect for you if you know procedure.

  • Hm, move-to-amend 'sounds' good. Why would anyone buy this act when you can secure the 'legal-person' by the contract-law? The city is a corporation. What interest do they have in corporate-personhood, really? It's under the guise of "Corporation having human-rights? The problem is the other way around! Under statute legal-persons are regulated as corps. That's a worse crime while the courts sit there and don't allow private discharging methods to be published. Stop the secrecy. This smells!

  • @xxxxAXIxxxx Like most of politician they sell you one thing and do another. Ron Paul for example. Sells you anti-corporate personhood, takes away social security. Sells you "home schooling", dissembles any and all public programs. Sells you "energy freedom", tells people climate change is a hoax. Do some of your own research, don't follow blindly. The guy is insane.

  • @djlexxx Ron Paul 1812!

  • @pacmink21 Yes, but not as insane as his followers and they also get first prize for being the most obnoxious brain-dead idiots on YouTube.

  • @seamoremonster thanks for the share sea

  • @pacmink21 Ron Paul is anti-corporate personhood.

    You are insane if you support corporate personhood. Corporations are not people pac, we need a candidate that acknowledges this.
