Stop Saying the SCOTUS Ruled Corporations Are People, THEY DID NOT!

They ruled that more than 90% of corporations that are closely held are, in fact, SUPER PEOPLE who can have the right to free speech by spending money (since money is speech according to this court) on a candidate of their choice while also being able to inflict the religious beliefs of the corporation owners on female employees all while protecting the owners of the corporation from ever being sued over anything the corporation does.

Oh, and the best part is these SUPER PEOPLE can never be arrested and can never suffer the death penalty if they intentionally kill someone.

Corporations are SUPER PEOPLE, my friend.

I'm a person, but I don't get to make your health care decisions for you.

Unless you crown me your emperor...

Well....I'm waiting.
