Guess the Alzheimers must really be kicking in for ya, then. Not that this wasn't already clear.

It should be obvious to just about anyone that Gov. Romney, in his full "Corporations are people" statement, means just this: that corporations consist of people - people who will have to pay in one way or another if corporate taxes are raised.

Geezer, are you still flogging the language? Jeeze, give it up already.
Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in taxpayer funded bailouts, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes?
Yeah, me neither....

Besides, if you read the whole statement from Gov. Romney, instead of taking a snippet out of context (which I'm sure you'd never do)...
This is particularly hilarious, coming on the heels of Geezer telling us to google "hoffa" and "sons of bitches" in order to prove that his taking snippets of a speech out of context really isn't something he does.

If you want to talk about Solyndra and the future of green energy why don't you take yourself back to that thread...you know the one you ran from...the one that you refused to answer my questions.

Put it this way, a group is different then an individual.

Who said "the Corporation is a person"? SignyM, maybe, but not Gov. Romney.
Once again, what he said is this:
“I told them, corporations are people…Raising taxes on corporations is raising taxes on people.”
You can dance around it all you like, but that's a preety clear statement that increases in taxes on corporations increase the costs to the people who make up the corporations.

I don't remember leaving "Sons of bitches" out of my quote.
Sorry if it was you and others who got all "OH, he was talking about votes". Whether it was votes, guns, water balloons or Hallmark cards, calling your political opponents 'sons of bitches' is inflamatory and not so bright.

Raising taxes on corporations may end up costing the people who make up the corporation, but that does not make corporation equivalent to people, even in this regard. That is the problem.

Cool, so you're against raising taxes on the rich now? Actually, as a retiree who has nothing invested in corporations, businesses, etc. that'd work fine for me, as I'd get to keep 100% of my pension.
Of course, it would sort of end the concept of a graduated income tax, since all workers would in effect pay the same rate, and would get no tax breaks for dependents, mortgage interest, medical expenses, etc.
But it does move closer to your goal, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need."
