In spite of the questionable practices of corporations, we must 
understand that the law was right to initially protect them. At that 
time their existence was important to the economy. But, now, is their
greed necessary? Their economic grasp is without rival and they have
become an important part of the economy. But, we must also 
understand that they are fictions and their sole purpose for existing
is to function in the economy. They have tremendous power. They 
have the power to voluntarily end their existence, to re-emerge again 
under a different name, to decide how long they will exist or to 
perpetuate themselves eternally. No human being can do these things, 
because human beings are real. Should being human have less attributes 
or less value than a fiction? The Constitution states we are a Nation of 
people, that means real people, not fictions. Yes, real people have 
Constitutional rights, but they also have obligations, duties, and limitations.
      Government creates corporations, its time to give them duties, 
obligations and limitations within the communities in which they exist, 
and also to the government that gave them that unrivaled economic grasp.
Instead of increasing their rights, like the previledge to contribute to 
political campaigns, give them duties and obligations or punish them 
for non-compliance. A question just occurred to me, can a fiction acquire a 
real right, or is their right as fictional as their existence?  This latest 
right is only going to increase the struggle for the top tier of power.
After all, they owe their existence to the government. Human beings 
do not owe their existence to the government. Human beings crafted
Government and that government owes the Many at the bottom, 
democracy.
