CORPORATIONS ARE NOT PEOPLE! However, because of a mistaken interpretation of a Supreme Court reporter's notes in an 1886 railroad tax case, corporations are now legally considered "persons," equal to humans and entitled to many of the same protections guaranteed only to humans by the Bill of Rights - a clear contradiction of the intent of the Founders of the United States. The results of this "corporate personhood" have been:
Unequal taxes
Unequal privacy
Unequal wealth
Unequal trade
Unequal media
Unequal regulation
Unequal responsibility for crime
Unequal protection from risk
Unequal citizenship and access to the commons
To remedy the legal blunder of corporate personhood, this tribe exists to brainstorm specific action steps that can be taken by citizens, courts, legislatures, and local communities.
Get active, baby, let's change the world!

(2/08) This tribe was started by Jeanne way back in the day...

(2/08) Currently, I am trying to feel out how to moderate it so that a significant amount of perspective AND focus is brought to bear on the problem. Of course, a lot has and has not been said on this topic already so feel free to go through and look at some of the videos and treatise and discussions if the topic interests you. --Timbo
