Romney: "Corporations are people, my friend"

"Corporations are people, my friend."

I didn't say that. Mitt Romney did. That's a verbatim quote. And he was being serious.

Mitt Romney said corporations are people. Let that sink in for a moment so you can get over the shock of anybody saying something so positively idiotic.

This all went down at a campaign stop at the Iowa State Fair today. When an audience member declared that taxes should be raised on corporations, an arrogant, smirking Romney replied, "Corporations are people, my friend."

When challenged on this, he said, "Of course they are." Then the audience just EXPLODED in laughter!

Corporations don't create jobs. Customers do. That's because customers are sort of peopleish, ya know.

But Mitt Romney says, "Corporations are people." He really said that. "Corporations are people." That's Romney's America.
