Corporations are inhuman

Corporate interests exert overwhelming influence in this and every political debate in our country, yet I disagree with the notion that this is the inevitable outcome of a capitalist society. I believe corporate influence could end with a simple Supreme Court decision, one that seems obvious to me:

They got it wrong when they decided money (and giving it to pols) is equivalent to speech. They also got it wrong when they decided corporations are entitled to the same Constitutional protections as humans.

Corporations are not people. Taking away their ability to buy elections would be just, proper, and a complete game-changer.
