Corporations are artificial entities that were never intended to be permanent. Unless they have a heartbeat and breathe, they are not people and are not entitled to the same rights as people.

Yeah, well even Ron Paul said that corporations are not people. No matter where you stand they have no business in politics like the agribusiness company Monsanto. Corporate power is so part of the problem!

Capitalism is the best form of government. What we have is not capitalism.

Campaign donations are protected by the First Amendment.

Citizens United is constitutional and it should stay. Democracy is not mob rule.

[P Manivannan]

Meaningful.

We live in a democratic republic, not simply a democracy. Sure setting limits on corporations makes sense as long as government doesn't get too big and as long as our jobs don't up a leave the country.

The NAACP is a, wait for it..., corporation (there are all kinds)... Are you telling them to shut up? You'll have to excuse me if I don't hold my breath waiting for balance from these leftists...

[YoungRal10]

[AJC87HOCKEY]

Last time i checked we where a Republic not a democracy

[Rada Jordanovic]

Very nice video! Too bad the majority of people are so stupid they won't even know how to get up from their sofa, not to mention to fight for anything... and the question I always get when I say this stuff to others is "well, I'm just one man, i don't want to spend my life trying to fix something that can't be fixed" -.-

Well how are you going to sue a corporation if it is not treated like a human. Are you going to find all the stockholders and sue the individually? How do you make corporations abide by the rules? Do you go to each stock holder and read out the rules to them? Do you see the problem if you cannot treat corporations like people? They cannot be punished and they cannot move forward? Nobody will invest and it will just turn into a shit storm.
