Thus corporations finally claimed the full rights enjoyed by
individual citizens while being exempted from many of the
responsibilities and liabilities of citizenship. Furthermore, in
being guaranteed the same right to free speech as individual
citizens, they achieved, in the words of Paul Hawken, 'precisely
what the Bill of Rights was intended to prevent: domination of
public thought and discourse.' The subsequent claim by corporations
that they have the same right as any individual to influence the
government in their own interest pits the individual citizen against
the vast financial and communications resources of the corporation
and mocks the constitutional intent that all citizens have an equal
voice in the political debates surrounding important issues.
David C. Korten, in When Corporations Rule the World The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson." Franklin D. Roosevelt in a letter to Woodrow Wilson's closest adviser, Col. Edward M. House dated November 21, 1933
The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power — Franklin D. Roosevelt
