PEOPLE as opposed to PERSON

Nov 15 , 2011

A few days ago, I made a comment on HuffingtonPost .
It had to do with the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling.

Suddenly, I realized something. I have to ask someone who is an expert ie more knowledgeable than me if the DISTINCTION i noticed is correct or not on the particular subject of FREEDOM of SPEECH as mentionned in the Constitution 14th ammendment.

Here is what I noticed : Freedom of speech being granted to individual citizens , and why the saying MONEY is SPEECH has to be applied to INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS ie PERSONs

So ONE PERSON can use MONEY as SPEECH................and give $$$$$ to a politician.
BUT
corporations may be PEOPLE ( many persons ) so, since the people in corporations are not asked if they want to give money $$$$$$ then that rule of MONEY is SPEECH cannot apply to the CORPORATION ( people as SHAREHOLDERS ).

Now, if some right wingers object to this, i will respectfully remind them that HOW COME that you OBJECT to the UNIONS ...........giving contributions to politicians because you say WORKERS may not want to..............contribute to that or this politicians.

JUST as I say that PEOPLE in CORPORATIONS may definitely be against wanting the company give $$$$ because really all this giving /contributions will be charged
