Corporations Have Always Had More Rights Than You | EXPLAINER

from Why, America? with Leeja Miller · host Leeja Miller

A judge in Delaware has upheld a law allowing corporations (and other "artificial persons") to vote in municipal elections. FIRST OF ALL: this is not a NEW law, it's been in the charter since 2008. I'm seeing a lot of headlines misconstruing that this judge made this new ruling and now all of the sudden corporations can vote. This has BEEN the law. And corporations have had more rights than you for literally hundreds of years. Strap in for the explainer on "corporate personhood" cuz it's a doozy.  Take your personal data back with Incogni!
