Romney:"Corporations are people"

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Definately a poor choice of words and one which he will be made to regret. People don't want to hear the truth, they want to here solutions to their problems. If someone asks why not raise taxes on corporations to fund SS, it is easy to respond that such would hurt employment or would hurt consumers in a weak economy.

A corporation is just a piece of paper. Tear it up or burn it and the corporation ceases to exist. Modify it and you have created a different corporation.


What matters is what the paper says. The paper decribes a relationship between a group of people to establish an entity for the purpose engaging in a for profit activity. A Corporation is thus a group of people, but without those people, the corporation doesn't exist. Therefore it is logical to assert that corporation is that group of people.


Edit: They are using the incident for Romney's fundraising. Unless they are talking about a different incident in Iowa. lol

Sorry, but corporations are not people, they are entities with agendas. Individual people generally cannot have the same sort of resources and authority that corporations do.

Of course, a corporation's purpose is to pool resources to engage in an activity more efficiently then someone operating independently can.

Entities don't have agendas. The people who created, and operate them, do.
