Not only do they enjoy the right of free speech, they get favored tax breaks. Also, when a corporation gets convicted of a crime (and this has happened), nobody goes to jail. In my next life, I want to be a corporation, too !!!
Are Corporations PEOPLE??!!

Actual blood... coming from actual veins.
Corporate owners are people, often controlling gov reg to prop up their cartels like Obomneycare and TBTF bailouts.
"As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong it's reign by working on the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed."
-Abraham Lincoln 1864
Remember the young lifeguard that worked for a corporation that fired him because he left his post and save another human being life. Corporation thought that since the lifeguard left his post he put the corporation in danger as no one was there to monitor the specific area however, the person … the lifeguard thought he should just save a human beings life … someone that needed his expertise. We all know how the corporation rewarded the employee … yep he got fired … corporations look at things at a corporate level … people look at things at a person to person level …

Mitt Romney has said he believes corporations are people, but President Obama has not. There is no reason to believe he does.
The whole point of incorporating a business reflects around the concept that a business incorporated [the word itself derived from the BODY of a person] has its own identity apart from those who invest in that corporation. So that, if it goes bankrupt, the investors are not personally liable, among other things.
Trust funds and business trusts are also deemed by law to be entities on equal footing with actual persons.
But when Government wants to tax them it is as a single entity, not as a group designed to share risk and profit.
Take Patents for example, they must be registered in a persons name, usually an employee, and then the Corp buys the rights to the Patent for a dollar.
The 7 Characteristics of Life:
1. Living Things are Composed of Cells:
Single-cell organisms have everything they need to be self-sufficient.
In multicellular organisms, specialization increases until some cells do only certain things.
2. Living Things Have Different Levels of Organization:
Both molecular and cellular organization.
Living things must be able to organize simple substances into complex ones.
Living things organize cells at several levels:
Tissue - a group of cells that perform a common function.
Organ - a group of tissues that perform a common function.
Organ system - a group of organs that perform a common function.
Organism - any complete living thing.
3. Living Things Use Energy:
Living things take in energy and use it for maintenance and growth.
4. Living Things Respond To Their Environment:
Living things will make changes in response to a stimulus in their environment.
A behavior is a complex set of responses.
5. Living Things Grow:
Cell division - the orderly formation of new cells.
Cell enlargement - the increase in size of a cell. Cells grow to a certain size and then divide.
An organism gets larger as the number of its cells increases.
6. Living Things Reproduce:
Reproduction is not essential for the survival ...

6. Living Things Reproduce:
Reproduction is not essential for the survival of individual organisms, but must occur for a species to survive.
All living things reproduce in one of the following ways:
Asexual repoduction - Producing offspring without the use of gametes.
Sexual reproduction - Producing offspring by the joining of sex cells.
7. Living Things Adapt To Their Environment:
Adaptations are traits giving an organism an advantage in a certain environment.
Variation of individuals is important for a healthy species.

Of course, Mitt's version of the Gettysburg address would change Lincoln's famous words to "Government Of the Corporation, By the Corporation, and For the Corporation".
Why anyone would vote for this shill for the banksters is beyond reason.
