38. Racism? Why can't governments simply "shoot the corporation dead?"
When Murdoch's corporation(s) smack government and citizens upside the head with alleged wiretapping and bribery, why can't the government simply "shoot the involved corporations dead?" It's just a paper entity, no real blood would be spilled, and a real gun needn't be used.

If a citizen smacks a LEO upside the head, the citizen sometimes get shot, sometimes killed, then real blood is spilled. The regularly reported overkill with humans, and underkill with corporations (who are considered persons), is probably todays greatest "racism" (because corporations are legally considered persons, and governments are also corporations, thus government and corporations are "family" so to say).

It seems all of humanity has become "the minority" under the financial structures of corporatism.
