With the indirection that corporate structure creates, the following are some of my concerns:<p>1) You mention "Those same people "it" (or in reality, the people within it) acts on behalf of."<p>a) 'the people within it' --&#62; a company does emphatically not speak for the people within it. This is in stark contrast with a political party or other groups joined by individuals for political purposes<p>b) you could argue for the shareholders --&#62; but, the major shareholders are mostly pension funds etc. Membership to these funds is mandated by employers, with little choice by employees (i.e. most voters).<p>2) And your 2nd comment: "Why do you dive on this red herring instead of trying to address whatever your real concern is?"<p>The United States Constitution preamble: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."<p>If a corporations can run for a seat in Congress, and, if they are the voice of shareholders, and these shareholders can be foreign, where does that leave our democracy?
