    but it’s the way it is.

    It doesn’t have to be, of course. Taking a look at the long, sordid history of how the privilege of incorporation has been perverted in this way, it becomes clear what needs to be done to fix it.

      I read the article you referenced, but it’s not clear to me. What needs to be done to fix it?

        Basically, abolish corporate personhood by overturning the sequence of court decisions cited in the article that got us to this point. Or, as the last sentence in the article hyperlinks to, pass these Constitutional Amendments.

          Unless I’m missing something, what “needs to be done to fix it” and what is in the realm of possibility seem to be two very different things.

            ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I didn’t say it was easy, just clear.
