@TomMarcinko@wandering.shop Good question! U.S. corporations are legal persons (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_pe). It derived from U.S. Supreme Court challenges to the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (free speech) - largely orchestrated by Mitch McConnell (R-TN).

As legal persons, campaign finance challenges were enabled (e.g.) Citizens United v. FEC (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens) that opened the "dark money" floodgates.

The consequences have been catastrophic.
