Don't We Just Weave Confussion.

       Well, today our Supreme Court is set to look into just how much of a person a corporation is. Especially For Profit corporations. Remember back in the Citizens United case it decided that corporations could give as much money as they wanted to influence elections because, after all, corporations had a right to free speech. All the free speech they want because they're people too.
       Well now the court is going to decide if corporations are also religious companies. Can a corporation opt out of Obamacare because certain rules in Obamacare are against its sensibilities? Now, churches and other religious organizations have that right, but does a company that is in business to make a profit and is not , in fact, related to any religious organization have that right?
       The thing is, if corporations can opt out simply by saying they object on religious grounds, then they suddenly have more rights than private individuals. All except the vote. Corporations can't vote. Yet! So if this case is decided in favor of corporations, then the next thing you know corporations will be back in front of the court demanding the vote. Of course when they win that one, every person in the country who has an interest in politics will apply to incorporate. Why? Because it would effectively give each person two votes.
       See you could vote on your own behalf, assuming you have the proper identification, and then vote on behalf of your corporation. It's the One Man Two Votes theory. Or, if you're having difficulty getting the required voter ID, once you incorporate, you can vote whether you're an illegal alien or not. That would be the Corporate Voter Alternative theory. That brings up a third question. What if corporations incorporate as a subsidiary? Would that add an additional vote? See, the guy that incorporated gets to vote, the corporation gets to vote and the subsidiary gets to vote. This would be the One Man, Three Votes theory. If you carry this theory out to its logical conclusion, there would be nearly eleven billion votes cast in America for even county dogcatcher.
       With that many voters, there will surely be exponentially that many more court cases. That means we'd have to have a second Supreme Court. One to make the final decision and the other to disagree. I suppose at that point we'd have to establish a Supreme Being Court to decide the final outcome.
