This is what corporate “America” has done with its right of citizenship. This is what they have cooked for themselves by exercising their rights as “citizens” to lobby congress into allowing them to regulate themselves.

If corporate citizenship were not a factor right now, it would be very easy for government to fix the problem. Congress would simply implement a set of rules and business would have to abide. But since they are recognized as “people”, they lobby congress and stall the very efforts needed to keep them alive and healthy.

Corporate citizenship is at the heart of our financial problems. Strike it down. Remove the corporate constituency and the corporate lobby. Give the government back to the people. Are there no attorneys with knowledge and the gonads to effectively challenge that ruling? Or maybe there’s just not enough money to be made doing what’s right?
