“I’ll believe a corporation is a person when they execute one in Texas.”

Sainath: I love the quote, which I believe came from Jim Hightower, maybe
someone else, but I think it was Hightower: “I’ll believe a corporation is a
person when they execute one in Texas.” I do not believe in corporate social
responsibility, which by the way is the whitewash that is sought to be given to
corporate personhood. I strongly believe in corporate legal liability. If you go
back to the original debates at the time of James Madison, you will fi nd scathing, scathing critiques of what a corporation is. It’s interesting that the founders did have something of a debate in this country also.
