Corporations Are (Bad) People!

I don't have am article for this post but I just wanted to give my quick opinion on Romney's comment that "Corporations are people" first of all nowadays it seems like corporation have growing opinions in political and social issues, Oreo has run a pro-gay campaign, Chick Fil A's president (not the corporation as a whole) announced that he was against gay marriage, and Papa John's is against Obama Care. Does anyone else see how quickly this can escalate? Chick Fil A had its largest day of sales when a bunch of anti-gay people gathered at their restaurants all around the country. Why? Because of the free publicity that they've been getting from the news through the old philosophy that there's no such thing as bad publicity. Now all a corporation has to do to boost sales is have some say in a social or political issue and BAM, there are debates all across the country on their stance on the issue and the country is reminded of them and their brand everyday on the news. At the end of the day a CEO's opinion is not the opinion of a company nor is it the views of its employees. Corporations are not people, and if they were I certainly wouldn't want to be friends with them.
