Romney in Iowa: 'Corporations are people' too

By James Oliphant

 

Reporting from Des Moines — Campaigning in Iowa on Thursday, Mitt Romney told a heckler, “Corporations are people, my friend”—words immediately seized upon by Democrats in what they termed as a possible defining statement by the presidential candidate.

Romney, speaking to a crowd of hundreds at the Iowa State Fair, was being pressed about raising taxes to help cover entitlement spending. When one mentioned raising corporate tax rates, Romney responded by saying corporations were no different than people. The line earned him a sustained round of applause from the crowd.

Oh, Mittens...REALLY?

Sweetening profits for the top, while sacrificing good American jobs. Tell American Crystal Sugar to end the lockout and negotiate fair and square. Dear Dot, Whether on Wall Street or in the heartland, corporations are continuing to squeeze workers for all they can. American Crystal Sugar is no different. Despite record profits three years in a row, on August 1, the company locked out more than 1,300 workers in Iowa, Minnesota, and North Dakota. Rather than negotiate a fair deal with its workforce, management chose to try to break the union. Will you help American Crystal workers get back on the job – and back supporting their families? Sign our petition to CEO Dave Berg TODAY to urge him to end the lockout. Locked-out workers just wanted a fair wage increase and affordable healthcare coverage. Instead, American Crystal pushed to double their healthcare costs and weaken job security. And now, both lives and livelihoods are on the line. Dan Dumas  is an American Crystal employee who desperately wants to get back  to work. His daughter Kayla was a victim of a horrible car accident  and was in a coma for three months. While Kayla has made considerable  progress, her recovery and therapy hang in the balance since Dan's  healthcare coverage was cut off in August. There's too much at stake! Sign our petition to American Crystal Sugar NOW. Together, the workers, company, and growers have helped to build the local  economy, support families, and make their communities flourish. Now American  Crystal's destructive lockout is putting it all in jeopardy. Around the country, people are fighting back against this corporate greed  and standing up for working Americans. Will you stand up and fight back too? Thanks for all that you do for workers everywhere. I received this message this morning. Thing is I suspect this attitude by  management is being played out across America.
