Companies offer differing perspectives on Bain Capital
McClatchy has the article Companies offer differing perspectives on Bain Capital.
Is Bain a predatory vampire sucking workers’ lifeblood? Or is it a capitalist angel injecting crucial seed money for job-providing startups?
Actually, it’s both.
Except for this silly spin on the topic, you might actually find a few more details from this article about the controversy.
When the question of whether or not a person has committed a crime comes up, we don’t look at all the times a person did something good or did not commit a crime when the opportunity presented itself. The crime either was or was not committed independent of what that person may have done in completely different circumstances.
I use the word “person” above because of the Supreme Court’s decision that corporations are people. By the same logic, it must be true that people are corporations. So whatever you can say about a person, you can say about a corporation and vice versa.
By the way, how come I am taxed on income, but other people (corporations) are taxed on net income. Why can’t I deduct everything a corporation gets to deduct. Corporations are people, too. And people are corporations.
I don’t suppose the Supreme Court might consider the possibility that while Corporations may have some aspects that are analogous to people, that in no way is justification for treating people and corporations exactly alike for no other reasons than the occasional similarity.
