Business Corporations are 'essential'; but they are not 'Real Persons'.

Business Corporations are 'essential'; but they are not 'Real Persons'. We may be called a 'Corporate Society', but in Reality we are a 'Civil Society' living alongside of 'Corporate Persons'. The 'Bottom' or the 'Condition of togetherness' is Real, its 'Human' and not some Officially Declared 'Person'; and 'All Human-ness' Lives in a 'Condition of Togetherness'. Humanity; Lives, suffers, hungers, need shelters, and needs 'Civil' and 'Political Organization'. 'Every 'Civil Organization' needs a 'Political Organization' and every 'Civil Organization' needs a 'Social', an 'Economy', and 'Civic Organizations'. Fortunately, 'Business Corporations' were 'created' to 'centralize Productivity' and help 'provide' for the 'General Welfare'. But, that is an 'Economic Activity', and we cannot 'mix' the 'Real' with the 'Humanly Constructed'. All 'Human Constructions' are 'not Real'. We can call them 'Persons in Contemplation of Law', for the Purpose of Constitutional Protection, but they are not 'Real Persons'. We cannot forget that distinction because we are mixing the 'Human' with the 'Institutional'. That could create a 'neglect' of the Bottom of the Social that is in need of 'help' and a 'focus on Economic Activity' that 'Equates Monetary Success' with 'Human Success'. If that happens, we have increased the 'importance of the Economic' over the importance of 'Democracy'. Democracy is a 'Polity' "of the People", "by the People", and "For the People". Notice, its 'For the People', not for the 'Corporations' or, 'for the Rich'.
