Re: Government Does Not Equal People anymore

What you fail to understand is that a corporation as a legal entity has the same basic rights you do as a human citizen.
Well, maybe that's how it was. These days large corporations have WAYYY more rights then you do, because they have WAYYY more benjamins then you do. Usually.

Example: You own your house, on a beach, that you wisely invested in 20 years ago and love.

Corporation wants your land to build hotel, Casino, Golf course, yada yada. They say "SELL!!!!" You say "NO!! I'm retiring here!"

Corporation then goes to your politicians and next thing ya know badda bing, badda bang, your property is siezed and you are evicted, have a nice day, cya, wouldn't wanna be ya!

.... and so on. Welcome to the new America, where people are only as good as how much money can be squeezed out of them as consumers and workers.
