    And the main point I was trying to make, which obviously got muddied by my misguided humor, is that we (in the US, at least) already classify corporations as “people,” which is something I strongly disagree with.

    I refuse to respect corporations like I respect human beings, and I don’t think they deserve human rights or the influence they have over our government.

      I don’t think corporations are people either. You and I agree on that.

      I do think I was correct in my read of the OP screenshot as indicating a desire to own and profit of the labor of a “person”—a position which should be examined and the underpinnings of which roundly rejected.

      At a base level it’s the same underpinning that inform people’s desire to be landlords.
