We're all Corporations now? Selling Corporate Personhood Begins, Casually.

The way it looks right now, the conservative truth that corporations are people, and vice versa, goes without saying. Did you have to ask?

Here's Rand Paul coming at the idea from a slightly different angle, claiming you and me are corporations. In fact, "all of us are corporations." How come? Because we might own stock in a corporation, and the more money we give big business, the more money we make. They believe this stuff. Oh, and how have those stocks and investments worked out for you so far?

Here's the now famous "people are corporations" comment from Mitt Romney in front of a not too receptive Iowa State Fair crowd. 

Man: "What are you going to do to strengthen Social Security and Medicare without cutting benefits?"

Romney: "You want my answer, I'm not going to raise taxes. That's my answer."

Since when is paying a lot more out of pocket for these programs not the same as a tax increase? They're not. They're the same.
