''The Supreme Court says a corporation is a person, or at least must be treated like one when it comes to most constitutional protections.



These protections include the right to speak and the right to act in the political arena -- giving campaign contributions, lobbying, and advocating its agenda.

<\/p>



Now, if a corporation is in fact a person, with full constitutional rights, then it should act like a moral human person.

<\/p>



And what is the fundamental basis of morality? Caring about others.

<\/p>



So, a corporation, to act like a moral human person, is going to have to care about others, not just about its own bottom line.

<\/p>



It is going to have to care about its human compatriots.

<\/p>



But the vast majority of major corporations don't give a damn about their fellow persons. As such, they are immoral -- or amoral -- to the core.''<\/p>
