[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 718390, member: 2189"] Good find! The documentary "The Corporation" IMO does a good job of pointing out this overwhelming influence and what was more interesting was right after the 14th amendment was passed, some 400 cases appeared in our courts under that amendment and of those nearly 400 cases, about 19 were cases involving former slaves for whom we were told the 14th amendment was for. All the other cases were on behalf of corporations who under the new citizenship language were now considered persons and the new judical law from these cases helped to propel business and specifically corporations into advantages they had never had before and would not have had without the 14th amendment. If one considers the history, one has to ask if the 14th amendment was really about corporations under the guise of helping freed slaves! [/QUOTE]
