When the tax reform issue comes up, Dems should expand on the concept of corporations are people. [View all]
My understanding is that the constitution does not allow laws to protect or persecute certain groups of people. So if corporations are people their tax rares should be exactly the same as all of the other citizens. They should not be afforded special tax breaks. If they can use their personhood to make unlimited contributions to our elections in order to protect their free speech, then they should be taxed as any other citizen, not as a special class of person. They can't have it both ways.
