One of my 2 “Critical Changes” is the elimination of “Corporate Personhood”

I have begun reading Jeffrey D. Clements book “Corporations Are Not People / Reclaiming Democracy from Big Money and Global Corporations”.  and so far it is excellent.  I would recommend this to everyone as a primer to gain an understanding as to why I feel “Corporate Personhood” is the single most destructive political concept ever faced by a democracy. Basically a cancer on democracy.
 

Here is a short excerpt from the end of chapter 2 as example: A corporation is not a person, nor is it simply an association or group of people.  A corporation is a creation of law, a public tool of economic policy.  If we appreciate this point, corporate “rights” are exposed as unconstitutional folly.  Moreover, we can decide to create better corporations.  We can require that corporations be much more effective, useful, and supportive instruments for the American people and our economy.
