If they want to have the same rights as people, lets tax them at the same rate. Ditto for churches, lets tax that cash cow. Why stop there, let them be drafted and subject to all the same laws and punishments as ordinary citizens. Let's get them in for jury duty too. It's only fair. Jeff >

You need to do a bit more research! The Supreme Court had ruled, if I recall correctly, way back in 1922 that "corporations are "People," who can be sued in the courts. The current Court simply REAFFIRMED that ruling, thus the law banning their "RIGHT to political speech," was not Constitutional. If you study election law you will discover only an "individual" can seek elective office.
