McCain: ‘Corporations are not people’

Posted by Arjun Jaikumar on June 16, 2012

John McCain, decrying the influence of Super PACs on the 2012 campaign—and Mitt Romney in particular—has some wise words for the former CEO of Bain Capital: "We have to limit the flow of money—corporations are not people."

As McCain said, we have different laws for corporation than we do for people. And there's nothing wrong with expecting corporations to play by a different set of rules than human beings when it comes to choosing our government and setting the national agenda. Humans should be in charge. Not abstract legal entities. And it's amazing that Mitt Romney doesn't get that.
