If U.S. corporations are legal people
Nov. 14th, 2011 07:21 amThen when will they openly get the right to vote?
Come on; somebody has drafted that legislation. You know they have, or there wouldn't be such a push from the Radical Right for us to just shut up and accept it. (Seriously, corporations have been legal people for a long time, and I have never seen it emphasized as an incontrovertible fact as publicly and repeatedly by those in favor of it, as I have since the Kochs clearly started really having something to gain from it politically).
Of course, this means corporations would also be eligible for the military draft - all their financial and human resources at the behest of the federal government. Which is probably all that's held off such legislation this long, LOL. Executives are probably negotiating that they get to enter as officers. Instead of laying off lower level employees when their jobs are cut or outsourced, those people can enlist. After all, everybody's qualified to be in the military ... or so I've heard.
