Mitt Romney is taking a good deal of flack for saying that corporations are people, and there’s even a DNC ad on the topic. Now while the hot place will be frozen over before I vote for Mitt Romney, I have to agree with him on this one. Corporations are one way in which people get together in order to do things they can’t do individually.
Similarly labor unions are a way in which people get together to accomplish things they couldn’t otherwise accomplish. I think it’s debatable just what special privileges we give to particular groups of people, but both are, nonetheless, people. Perhaps if we could recognize that in both cases we might be able to do better legislating for both corporations and unions.
