Considering the stocks that are held by mutual funds, yes, I suppose you could say that many stockholders are not people.

Again, I AM A RAILROAD STOCKHOLDER. Yet you say I am not a person. That you and "We the People" have the absolute right to come take my property. I reject that statement outright and absolutely.

Since you are so fond of the words "We the People" perhaps you should study the original document that begins with those words. The U.S. Constitution as written never allowed for the government to take a persons property unless they had been proven in a court of law to have committed some crime. In fact it is not a stretch to say that the entire document is a catalog of protections to ensure that the government does not go around seizing a persons property. If your justification for taking my property is that some robber baron, who owned a different railroad, took government money I would state that you are establishing a very dangerous president.

Do you own land in the continental US? Under your logic if some dead persons in the past who you never met did something unethical to some other long dead guy you never meant any claims to that property today are null and void. Since almost ever square foot of the Continental US was taken from somebody at some time any piece of land could be grabbed at any time. So when President Obama sends "We the People" to take your house because 150 years ago some cowboys drove some Indians off the land you are going to be OK with that? If you can decide that "We the People" have the right to take my stuff can I not make also claim to have "We the People" take your stuff?

As for your war against evil corporations and landowners take a look at Zimbabwe. They drove all those evil white land owners out of the country and turned all the land over to "The People". Today they are starving. Socialism doesn't work, it has never worked, it will never work. Taking my property because you want it, but are unwilling to pay for it is theft. Even when it is done by "We the People " . I don't want your stuff. Or if I do I understand that I will have to pay the price you demand. But if you are determined to take take my property, don't send government goons in the name of "We the People". Come take it yourself. One of us will walk away from that encounter.

And since you like to say that "We the People" are sovereign, I will point out that a sovereign is a king, and unlike our president I don't bow to kings.
