Corporations are people

‎"President Obama listened to the voices that mattered to him most -- the voices of the auto workers and the communities that depended on them. ... To President Obama they weren't just companies that needed a loan, they were communities that needed a leader to stand up for them." - Mayor Rahm Emanuel, 4 Sep 2012

So what you're saying is that corporations are people, my friend?

I'm not really digging at Rahm, I digging at the Left's rant-o-sphere. They rail against Mitt Romney's heckle driven "Corporations are people, my friend." But Obama propping up GM is a cheer amongst cheers. Their hypocrisy is ripe.

In Mitt's case, corporate taxes effect both the worker and the stock holder. Both of these are people. I suppose it also effects the politicians that would then have less money to hand-out as earmarks.

It should also be pointed out that a vast raft of the bailout money went to GM's expansion into the People's Republic of China. Money that in theory will flow back to the U.S. as ... corporate profits.
