Because corporations are treated as an individual, and have the same rights, this technically IS a fair judgement.

However, morally it's very troubling, and the political gap between the majority public and the wealthy has grown over nine thousand percent.

The 2012 Election! Brought to you by Pepsi!

How can this possibly be fair judgement? A corporation is a collection of people in combination with large amounts of money. So, how should/can these corporations be treated as one entity? They are a business, and the right to vote is given to American citizens, and the last time I checked, a corporation is NOT a citizen.

Quote:

A corporation is an institution that is granted a charter recognizing it as a separate legal entity having its own rights, privileges, and liabilities distinct from those of its members.

Quote:

Despite not being natural persons, corporations are recognized by the law to have rights and responsibilities like actual people. Corporations can exercise human rights against real individuals and the state,[2] and they may be responsible for human rights violations.

Dude, they made an entire movie about it...
