Corporations may be important because they function within the economic realm of a society and everyone understands the important part they play in the economy of a Nation. They may even be entitled to some kind of protection by the Constitution.But, doesn't that mean that government does have some control over them. However, its one thing to protect their nature and efficiency in their contribution to the economic stability of a Nation and quite another to attribute Constitutional rights of real persons to an abstract entity. There has always been a legal cushion against turning democratic government into something entirely dependent on money. That cushion must be preserved.If we do away with it, the result of attributing Constitutional rights to an abstract entity will flourish. That's exactly what happened with Citizens. The decision opened the door for an abstract entity to get involved in politics. An entity called "a legal fiction" can now participate in a contemporary feature of political life. We have protected an abstract entity so that it could flourish; and recently we gave it the democratic right to contribute to a political campaign. We have elevated the value and possession of money above the democratic spirit of a Nation. No individual can compete against the economic embrace of the corporate structure.The top 1% is already re-cycling their money so that it stays at the top and now the Citizens decision has fascilitated the elevation and concentration of money as the prime "mover" of politics; money has become more important than the democratic spirit. How can a government "of the people, by the people and for the people" permit a non-person to have the same Constitutional rights as real individuals? With big-money at the helm, politics is becoming destructive; only the 1% will survive. We're killing democracy. If the government creates corporations; protects them by saying they are "legal fictions"; gives them the right to contribute to political campaigns; why can't they also require them to be democratic in spirit?
