If corporations are people, why aren't they taxed like citizens! Seems fair

to me! They want to be treated as just another person, fine, but that comes along with taxation. And that also means, for example, Walgreens, not moving your address overseas to avoid taxation!

1. Why can't they be executed for crimes leading to loss of life ?

I'm all for the DP, as applied to corporations, not individuals.

2. Interesting point...

Foreign citizens (I'm looking at you, Walgreens) still pay taxes on income earned in the United States.

3. Maybe we can sue the government for discriminating against naturally born people nt

4. New York state isn't offering regular people the ability

to relocate to New York and not pay income tax, property tax, or sales tax for ten years.

But that's the sweetheart deal for corporations they're offering...

5. If corporations are people, why can't we sue the stock holders individually?

The whole point of a corporation is to avoid personal liability for corporate obligations. If businesses /cooations get the benefit of having religious positions, they should also carry the burden.

7. Exactly! IMO, their corporate shield is gone. Other countries go after CEOs for travesties, for

example, we should too! Stockholders ... they are part of the people corporation, they should be held accountable too!

6. Exactly

What I'm saying. No more LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP HOLES!!!

8. They're very special people, don't ya know!

[geek tragedy]

9. they are taxed like citizens--their profits are taxed.

but they get loopholes to show that they 'lost' money etc etc

while their stock price goes up and their CEOs make $10M a year
