Tell Mitt Romney: Corporations Are NOT People
GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney told an Iowa audience, "Corporations are people."
He then persisted in arguing his case that corporations ARE people because corporate profits end up "in the pockets" of people. Yes, Governor, some corporate profits end up in the pockets of an ever-shrinking number of people who control an ever-growing portion of our nation's wealth ... and some end up going to SuperPACs like the ones who are collecting massive corporate donations to support your campaign.
But corporations are legal entities -- they don't have the same experiences, needs or desires as people, and they certainly should not be afforded all the same rights as people. Gov. Romney's line of reasoning in asserting that "corporations are people" is dangerous.
Tell Romney that he could not be more wrong. Corporations are NOT people. People are people.
Dear Gov. Romney,
Your assertion that "corporations are people" is not only wrong, but represents the kind of thinking and Tea Party economics that threaten to keep our economy stagnating, keep the wealth gap in this country widening and keep an already heavily burdened middle class struggling!
You're wrong, plain and simple, and you should retract your comment.
