It's official: Corporations are people too

I don't why now but here it is by non other than Jack Welch.

"Of course corporations are people. What else would they be? Buildings don't hire people. Buildings don't design cars that run on electricity or discover DNA-based drug therapies that target cancer cells in ways our parents could never imagine.

Buildings don't show up at a customer's factory and say, "We won't leave until we solve your inventory problem." Buildings don't encourage their employees to mentor inner-city kids in math and science. Buildings don't fund homeless shelters in Boston or health clinics in Rwanda. People do."

He may be talking about people, but it sure doesn't sound like Republican people.

I'm with the bumpersticker that says: I refuse to believe corporations are people until Texas executes one.

You love corporations so much, why don't you marry one?

Can you find me a blonde corporation?

Corporations are considered as "individuals" by the government. Which is why corporations enjoy certain privileges that are equivalent to human individuals.

And government does "kill" corporations by closing its charter with the state.

Where "kill" has about as much meaning as saying that since corporations are property owned by people, then those people are "enslaving" the "individual" that is a corporation.
