Corporations are not people

And comedians should not be Senators:

I tend to agree with Al on this. Like people, corporations have a mind and a body; but unlike people they do not have a heart or a soul. But I don't think he is correct on the details.

I think Citizens United recognized that corporations are "persons", not "people". When the term "person" is used in the US Constitution, it includes individual people AND the several States. If a State is a person, then why can't a corporation be a person? Both are formed by associations of people, self-organized according to rules established by an existing sovereign.

And in reality these new persons (corporations) always have had and will continue to have immense power. Many of them have cash flows greater than all but a few nations in the world. I believe they own the world (financially), and they will soon officially run it (politically): when "market-states" replace nation-states as the world's preeminent powers.

The transition is right around the corner, as soon as the bankers and THEIR corporations finish driving the nation-states into poverty.

We shall have world government whether or not you like it - by conquest or consent.
