- Happy Mardi Gras...it's "Fat Tuesday" today!!
- Member of the day was Roy Tim, who won a copy of "The Prophet's Way" for blogging:
If corporations are people, and no person shall be denied Equal Protection, then natural born people have all the rights of corporations. No person arrested after this ruling can be jailed, because we all now have limited liability. The worst thing that you can do to a person is fine them. Every person gets the same tax status as a corporation. We get to write off all expenses.
If corporation want to be people, then they have to have all the responsibilities of people. They lose any special tax status, and liability. You can’t have it both ways, that’s not Equal Protection.
