Corporations are not owned by the people.

You know what I mean't... I will always err on the side of freedom...and limited government....NO EXCEPTIONS...exceptions are the termites that eat away freedom slowly.

Government-created entities being given the same rights as a person IS an exception.

The Declaration of Independence doesn't mention corporations. Neither does the Constitution.

The fourth amendment says: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

It doesn't say that a corporation also has those rights guaranteed to it. But the government and the courts treat it that way.
