Corporation aren't people and if the GOP didn't know it before, they sure as heck know it now.
Elizabeth Warren is a true American Hero. Raised in the public school system, a former public school teacher who ascended to the position of the first Consumer Protection Agency head under President Obama did an outstanding job at the DNC last night.
Of the several things she said to help us understand why President Obama is the man for the job once again, she eloquently brought up one of the most outrageous and out of touch views of Romney and the GOP.
In her response to Romney's assertion that "corporations are people", Warren said "No, Governor Romney, corporations are not people. People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they cry, they dance. They live, they love, and they die. And that matters. That matters because we don't run this country for corporations. We run it for people,"
She couldn't have said it better and it is a position that the overwhelming majority of Americans agree with.
The only thing more frightening than the Republican Party not understanding the difference between "corporations" and actual "human beings" is the fact they want to be in power to create and evince policies that support corporations while simultaneously decimating Americans at the same time. Romneyhood 2.0. The utter disconnect and insensitivity of the GOP towards us is the stuff that psychological medical journals are made of.
If you don't view yourself as a "corporation" but view yourself as person who wants to live the American dream by working hard and receiving fair pay. If you want to go to school to better yourself and the position of your family. If you want to have affordable healthcare so that you can take care of your children and yourself so that you can watch them grow into productive human beings, then it would be impossible for you to vote for a party, that doesn't even really consider you to be a human being in the first place.
To the GOP, you are one in the same with a corporation. An entity that never feels pain, has thoughts, can shed tears of sadness or joy, can have children, attend a funeral, a wedding or believe in God if it "chooses".
Ironically, these GOP corporations don't have a soul either.
My family, friends and love ones will NEVER be a corporation and neither will you. As a result, it is imperative that we align ourselves with President Obama. A man who makes decisions based on his daughters and not his donors or his delegates as so keenly noted by Warren at the convention.
President Obama is the clear path to the best possible scenarios for American prosperity, respect, dignity and restoration.
And that is why he'll have my vote and ultimately win once again.
