@mollkatless No one cares what he thinks? As long as you are subscribing to the notion that *If I say it, it must be true*, have a dose of my own personal self manufactured facts: The sun is made out of lemon sherbet and your brain has leaked out of your head.

@ellenloveseverything - why doesn't this imbecile just go away? how many times has he failed in his attempt to get elected President?

Go away little man - no one is cares what you think

geez, I though he was going to talk about our birth certficate creating a corporate identity. That would have been bold for kucinich to discuss that topic. On another note, at this point, I hope you have moved your money from the large banks to a credit union. It's a small step, but at least it's in the right direction.

@meadbert This case is often incorrectly cited as holding that corporations, as juristic persons, are protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. Although the question of whether corporations were persons within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment had been argued in the lower courts and briefed for the Supreme Court, the Court did not base its decision on this issue.

The Santa Clara case was about whether Santa Clara could discriminate against minority owned businesses. The Supreme Court correctly ruled that discriminating against minority owned businesses discriminated against minorities and is banned under the 14th amendment.

If the Bill of Rights does not apply to the corporations then media companies, universities and churches have no free speech and churches have no freedom of religion.

The Santa Clara case over 100 years ago never voted in favour of corporate personhood, although the head note written by the clerk said the opposite, therefore all cases after Santa Clare were using a flawed precident, judges only reading head notes, not the full case maybe? To use the expression being Railroaded would be very ironic here, this lynch pin topic needs to be debated more as if reversed or repealled could bring substiantial peace and prosperity to natural man throughout the world !

A really fascinating documentary about corportations, called "The Corporation" is available on YOUTUBE, I would suggest checking it out----

Corporations have obtained a tremendous amount of power--especially in the last 30 years of this country's history----people have to organize and resist this power structure--
