In reply to the discussion: Romney on not releasing more tax returns: ‘I’m not a business’ [View all]mgarr
(41 posts)Romney said he was not a business. I agree. If he is not a business, it follows that corporations are not people. Citizens United and the conservative majority of the Supreme Court to the contrary, people are not corporations and corporations are not people. Any other take on this is nonsensical.
Reelect President Obama. Retake the House. Secure a 60 vote majority in the Senate (ignoring the fact that a supermajority of 60 votes is now "required" only because of Republican abuse of the filibuster rule.)
And then DEMAND Congress pass a constitutional amendment to reverse Citizens United (and at same time, demand Congress pass a law requiring federal funding of all political campaigns.)
The best-kept secret in Washington is that voters still have the ultimate power. So get mad. Then get out and vote. Every general election; every primary; every local election. Vote. (and make sure everyone you know votes.) Start the process of reform by making it politically dangerous for Congress to be bought and sold.
We will then have answered the question. Corporations are NOT people.
