Thought on Corporate “Persons”

Since corporations are people deserving the right to free speech, let’s just give them the right to vote! One corporation, one vote.

That leaves us wondering who should cast the vote for any particular corporation? Since the executives’ time is worth SO much money, let’s not distract them from their busy schedules to have them cast votes on behalf of their respective corporations. Why not just find the lowest-paid employee to cast the vote? The employee (probably a janitor or receptionist) can cast a vote in her own behalf, then take an additional few seconds to vote on behalf of her corporation.

This would allow corporations to minimize expenses and maximize profit-making and at the same time enable our dearest fellow citizens to exercise their right to vote. It would also save them from spending all that money on television advertising during political campaigns. And we wouldn’t have to listen to it! It’s a “win-win” as they say in the business world.
