Let's correct Romney.

Seeing the profit margins of petroleum companies.

Corporations are people my friend.."

Corporations are people my friend. You know that friend who stiffs you on rent, steals your food from the refrigerator, always forgets his wallet when the tab comes due, leaves the door ajar so your dog gets loose, borrows your car and leaves it with no gas, and microwaves tuna while you have guests over.

Yeah--that "friend."

[Alexander Of Assyria]

1. Corporations are not friends of the people. Corrected the capitalist loving donor recipient.

2. Don't forget

Plugs your toilet, and leaves it.

5. If corporations are people, then many are real assholes.

6. Romney was referring to legal decisions by the SCOTUS

that give corporations some of the rights of individuals; they're considered "persons" covered by the Equal Protection & Contract Clauses.

7. Well aware of that

Get backed to me when of these corporate peoples is killed on the battlefield.

8. I can only hope.

At the time, many voters were not well aware of that legal contrivance.

Romney had a real knack for leaving out context and sounding like a clueless rich fuck (thankfully). Mainly because he is one.

9. I hear that.

Unfortunately the chance of a corporate people taking a stand on the battlefield is the same as one of Romney’s 5 sons.

Is there a figure lower than zero?
