"Corporate persons" and democracy

Well the USA is hardly a beacon of democracy in this world, but this was more than I expected.

It seems after a decision in the United States Supreme Court decided that the Bill of Rights applied to corporations as well as people, Murray Hill inc. decided to run for congress. I’m still not entirely convinced that this isn’t a giant piss-take, particularly with the slogan “the best democracy money can buy”. But apparently it is not.

Only in America.
