Corporation greed is real.
Corporations are not people. Workers are people.
Tell that to Citizens United v. FEC.
Citizens United is a bad ruling that was a big win for Republicans. And workers and people without money lost.
Mitt Romney: "Corporations are people, my friend."
Sadly, Citizens United is just one of the most obvious manifestations of the Capitalist mindset that equates wealth to meritoriousness.
People will unironically say things like, "if you want healthcare, get a job", as though a lack of money negates your right to life. No surprise people think entities with wealth deserve more rights.
