#2099, "Oversimplification."
|
No corporation has " all the rights of a living, breathing, human being."
If there is a solution beyond the current definition of "corporation" I'm eager to hear it.
The difficulty, however, is that the proposed solution has to fit into an already complicated legal/economic framework.
"Corporate personhood," like the first amendment, is a double-edged sword. Sure, it protects huge awful companies, but it also protects millions of small business owners. Ending corporate personhood because it protects Unilever is akin to doing away with the first amendment because a lot of hate-speech is also protected.
I'm of the mind that corporate personhood, as it currently exists does far more good than harm and focusing on it as the root of the problem with America is simply naive.
Also, it's very easy to decry something. It's very hard to come up with a solution.
