you must be a lawyer....
coporations ACT as a person(s) and therefore represent a person or body of people as a legal creation of a person(s).
Therefore bad mouthing a corporation is the same as bad mouthing a person(s).
Haward lawyers notwithstanding....
So if corporations only ACT as persons, and corporations are but legal creations to represesent a person or persons, (your words), the inescapable conclusion is that corporations aren’t people.
No bad-mouthing there, just a logical conclusion that seems to be understood by everybody but some posters on this forum.
Sorry if that makes our putative nominee look bad. I guess we will just have to keep trying to overcome his gaffes to get him elected.
