Re: And slavery once was legal too.

So how easy do you think it is for people to just switch jobs?

Easier than you're allowing for.

And do you really think the CEO's are donating for the betterment of all members of the company? Or is it just the bottom line?

The latter, but the latter is also the former.

No, I don't think we should tax corporations. They're not people.

Fair enough.

If we let money speak loudest, again, it's only those at the top who benefit.

We're ensured free speech, not equal speech.

. And for crying out loud, if you're opposed to giving them a vote, why do you think it's okay for them to donate large chunks of money to politicians?

Because speech is a right everyone has. Voting should be limited to citizens. If we want to make corporations citizens (I do not), that's a way to handle it.

Of course I do. You realize that it DOES impact his campaign, though, right?

Only in that he'll have more money.
