How's come those guys Jefferson and Madison didn't love them some corporations like you do rkm?
The Founding Fathers on regulating corporations.
1. “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
— Thomas Jefferson, 1802 letter to Secretary of State Albert Gallatin.
2. “I hope that we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.”
— Thomas Jefferson.
3. “The power of all corporations ought to be limited, […] the growing wealth acquired by them never fails to be a source of abuses.”
— James Madison
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation,
That is one of my favorite fake quotes.
Have you seen the one where Jefferson says GMOs are bad? LOL!

I think politicians should wear their corporate sponsors on their suits. A list, a lot like a NASCAR driver show his sponsors, would go right down the sleeves of the suit and let EVERYONE know just what corporations the good Congress person is beholding to.
Don't you think we should know which corporations are buying our politicians rkm? That is why corporations are people too isn't it? So that the corporate money can flow into politicians coffers and they can get elected and re elected and do the corporations bidding. Right?
I mean why the fuck else would we be treating corporations like people?
That is why corporations are people too isn't it? So that the corporate money can flow into politicians coffers
That's awful!! Now corporations can do the same thing unions have been doing for decades.

Then why do you support policies that give them ever more power?
Despite, or because of, the fallout from the 2007 Great Recession, annual earnings between the richest Americans and everybody else have exploded to record levels. Meanwhile middle- and lower-class wealth growth remains stagnant.
The median wealth for high-income families hit $639,400 last year, a whopping 7 percent jump from three years earlier and seven times greater than middle-class incomes, which stood at $96,500 according to Pew Research Center, citing data from the Federal Reserve.
Middle-class median wealth, which Pew defines as the difference between the value of a household’s total assets and debts, has not advanced since 2010.
The financial chasm now separating the rich and everybody else is the widest since the Fed began tracking earnings 30 years ago, which became even more pronounced following the 2008 global financial crisis.

Wealth Gap between America s Rich and Middle-Class Families Widest on Record - Real Time Economics - WSJ
IMO The American Dream was always a myth, but now it has turned into a nightmare for 47% of Americans. This robbing of the poor half of the population has been quite deliberate, by allowing unchecked immigration to obtain cheap labor and by off shoring of jobs to India and China. The Federal minimum wage has remained at $7.25 per hour since Obama took office, while the cost of living has increased substantially. There is no justification for this, since corporate profits have never been higher.
The answer is less taxes.
If the rich aren't paying their fair share. I agree that we should raise it to a equal percentage with the non-rich. Only fair.
But the rich are paying a higher percentage than the non-rich.
Why would you lower what the rich pay?

400 tax returns reporting the highest incomes in 2009.
Six American families paid no federal income taxes in 2009 while making something on the order of $200 million each.
another 110 families paid 15 percent or less in federal income taxes.
The fortunate 400 David Cay Johnston Reuters
The 400 richest Americans used to pay 30% of their income on the average to Uncle Sam(but 55% in 1955).
Overall, the top 400 paid an average income tax rate of 19.9 percent, the same rate paid by a single worker who made $110,000 in 2009. The top 400 earned five times that much every day.
Just 82 of the top 400 were taxed in accord with the Buffett rule, which proposes a minimum tax of 30 percent on annual incomes greater than $1 million.
From 1992 to 2007 the top 400 earners in the U.S. saw their income increase 392% and their average tax rate reduced by 37%

The issue with CU was free speech, not political contributions to politicians. More particularly the issue was whether or not you loose your right to free speech when you join a group, like a union or corporation.
As for your corporations are people too... That's just some dumb ass political phrase drummed up by some dumb ass like you that think's it sounds cool to say. But the CU decision did not promote corporations to person-hood. That's just stupid.

Name one "right" granted to a Corporation that is unique to Corporations.Who are "they?" I don't know anyone that has more rights than me.[
No such thing. Those corporate dollars are the owner's dollars. Same as union money is the union members money. Corporations are not people. A corporation is nor more a person than a classic car is a person.
Then why do they have more rights than you?
Corporations.
Hint, specifying that people don't give up their rights when they join a Corporation, does not mean Corporations enjoy rights that people don't enjoy. It simply means that a Corporation is just a legal name for a group of people and that the rights of the people can't be taken by this government just because they have decided to use a legal name for collective actions taken by the group of people.

Liar. Never heard of inversion or double Irish huh? lol
The double Irish arrangement is a tax avoidance strategy that some multinational corporations use to lower their corporate tax liability. The strategy uses payments between related entities in a corporate structure to shift income from a higher-tax country to a lower-tax country. It relies on the fact that Irish tax law does not include US transfer pricing rules. Specifically, Ireland has territorial taxation, and hence does not levy taxes on income booked in subsidiaries of Irish companies that are outside the state.

Yep,
The 1% can afford to pay more. They use our roads, infrastructure and police so they certainly should.
We'd be better off with a larger middle class.
