Corporations

Here are some interesting points on personhood by Roy Barnes former governor of GA.

”A Corporation has no soul. It can not repent and be born again even by the most determined Southern Baptist evangelist. 

It can not marry, even to a corporation of the opposite sex, much less the same sex.

“It can not vote. A corporation can not adopt a child or be compelled to pay child support. A corporation can not think or have an opinion.

“Even the most conservative in our society recognize the difference in corporate and personal existence when they argue a corporation should not pay taxes because it is an artificial creature passing through levied taxes to consumers.

“The examples are endless. 

This is from a paper by Roy Barnes on the Citizens United decision and its effects on his campaign for governor last year.


I like the part about how corporations have no soul, they can't repent and be born again even by the most determined Southern Baptist evangelist!!  And how it can't marry or be forced to pay child support!!

Every rational thinking person knows corporations are not persons, so why is this falsehood being perpetuated by the courts.  I've always been led to believe that the courts were all about truth!!
