Corporations are not human, they don`t have feeling why are they involved in our election process? Do you think they should stay neutral?

Boomers, Corporate raiders. Corporations are run by humans with agendas.

The British, centuries ago back in medieval times... that's the origin of Corporations. They were created as artificial entities, and when the US was founded, corporations continued to exist as legal entities -- artificial people, as it were.

As far as them being involved in elections, they are not directly involved. Corporations cannot vote. They can spend money, but so can anyone else.

The problem isn't with corporations. The problem is that too much money can be spent influencing elections. The rich win -- that's the current system. And that will be the system until drastic campaign finance reforms are passed.

But politicians are not going to make it harder for themselves to win, by cutting off their own funding. So it's a self perpetuating cycle.

The rich win. And it doesn't really matter if the money comes from individuals, or families, or groups, or corporations. It's the money and the ways it can be spent that corrupt the system...
