| said by Noah Vail:Murray Hill (Inc) campaign election ad. Bill Moyers had a disappointing discussion about this last night. The depth of ideas was either a Harvard Law professor arguing for taxpayer-funded campaigns. Or, a libertarian from Reason Magazine arguing that corporations are just "associations of people" whose views they represent.
I don't want to support candidates (with my tax dollars) whose views I don't support. That's as bad as the libertarian guy saying 500 corporations represent my views just because I put my 401k money in a mutual fund indexed to the S&P 500 (large cap) stocks.
I choose to ride the bus. Does that mean the bus driver should represent my views?

I object to giving constitutional protections to anything other than an individual adult.
I have no knowledge of a founder authoring a document clearly stating that the Constitution applies to entities.
Perhaps someone here who might defend the recent SC ruling could provide such a document?

So, children should enjoy no Constitutional protections at all? -- Petty people are disproportionally corrupted by petty power |
