"Man, since the Supreme Court ruled in January that corporations could spend trillions of dollars on election ads, this corporatocracy we're living in will really crap all over the little guy."

Corporatocracy
The perverse obscenity and legal fiction that corporate entities are “persons” under the law with all the rights and privileges of the US Constitution just like human persons. Only unlike us mere mortals, they “live” indefinitely if not forever. And, they can buy and sell each and they can’t be punished corporally or incarcerated as deterrence and punishment like the rest of us living in the incarceration nation, itself another obscenity. Since the Reagan Revolution and the greed fest and leverage bonanzas and stock market with its colossal derivatives and mortgage securities bubble, corporate governance with the tacit cooperation of the courts and the toothless federal enforcement agencies, maximizing profits and upholding the rational self interest of the shareholders has become the norm. Any duty to consider the communities, workers and the environment affected by the corporate has been evicerated or interpreted to benefit the corporate.
