[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since your argument really isn't about Romney and really is rooted in arguing that corporations are not, in fact, persons, I presume you've never once, ever, claimed that corporations don't pay "their fair share" of taxes or compared a corporation's effective tax rate to what a person pays, right? [/quote] A corporation (the name means "embodiment", I think) is a legal entity considered to be a person for financial purposes. Since taxes are in the financial sphere, I think it's fair to argue for fairness. But construing that fictional personhood to extend into the area of individual political rights under the Constitution was a power play by those who claim to believe in judicial restraint. It will be the prime example of judicial overreach in the law schools once we get over the present right-wing hysteria.[/quote]
