Democracy is founded on Real Individuals; a Corporate Economy is founded on Legal Fictions.

Democracy is founded on 'Real Individuals' whereas, a Corporate Economy or, Corporate America is founded on Legal Fictions. A political Democracy relates to the Real Individuals that constitute the 'Bottom of the Governmental Structure'. The 'Top of Democracy is defined and described in the Founding Document establishing the Democracy, viz., the Constitution. A Three Branch Government of 'Real People' is a Government "of the People", "by the People", and, most important,"for the People". A Government 'for the People' is a 'Growing Government', or, a 'Mature Democracy' and that is one that 'expands' its Political Institutions to 'include' more and more of the Real Individuals within its Democratic Institutions. It eliminates Racial Discrimination; it eliminates 'economic imbalances'; it creates Jobs, more opportunities; it eliminates disease, sickness, poverty, and it truly, must include, the Equality of the Human Condition. Of course, every Democracy must also have an Economy. But, its a Democracy that 'has' an Economy and not an Economy that 'has' a Democracy. Try 'creating' a successful 'Business Corporation' within an Autocratic form of Government, and watch what happens. Democracy is basic. A Business Corporation is 'unreal', its a Legal Fiction'; its recognized by Law as a Fiction that 'only exists in contemplation of Law'. It exists solely for the creation of Profits and Money. It has no other goal. As an Economic Entity within an Economy, it's not a problem. But, it and its Economic Principles must stay out of Politics. 'Political Principles' and 'Business Principles' do not mix. Profits, Money, and Greed are harmful to the Democratic process. That's why we must do away with Citizens United. Corporations have no business in Politics. Their purpose for existing as Fictions is different. They have 'no interest' in Freedom and Equality, or stated differently, in Democracy. A Political Cabinet consisting of Business CEO's is problematic. We need 'Real' Politicians or, States-Persons; not 'Greedy Politicians', or 'Political Correctness', or Greedy Businessmen. If Democracy is to flourish, Corporate America must stay in its proper economic Place. That's where it can do its 'most Good'.
