"Burritos Prove Me Right (about the Corporation Argument)"

           People in the News keep arguing about whether or not "Corporations are people." The reason is because people think they have a right to an opinion on everything. But some things are just facts. And the fact that people are debating about whether or not corporations are people is ridiculous.
            Let me help you all out, okay?
            I just ate a burrito. If you ask me what I ate I will say the word "Burrito" or more specifically, I ate a bean burrito. While I freely admit that this means I did eat some beans, I, nor you, would phrase my answer, "I ate some beans."
           All human beings, whether they are Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians or other, call a burrito a burrito. Not "Beans." If you say "I am going to eat beans" you are referring to beans that are not in a tortilla but rather on a plate or in a bowl most likely. A can of 'Pork N Beans' is not known anywhere as a can of 'Pork N Burritos.'
           I am not stating an opinion, am I? No sir. I am stating a fact.

1.  If you examine the word 'People' then you know it is the plural form of the word 'Person'. 

2. If you examine the word 'Corporation' then you know it is NOT the plural form of the word 'Person.'

3. You can disagree with any and all political views of those around you anytime you want. You have that right. But this is not a political view. Words have definitions and corporations ARE NOT people.

          In conclusion, Beans are often in a burrito but they themselves are not a burrito. People are often in a corporation, but guess what, folks?
A CORPORATION IS NOT PEOPLE. Because it isn't.
I just proved it. Don't talk about it anymore.
