Top 5 Effects of Corporations Getting the Vote

Sadly, this proposal to let corporations vote may not be the stupidest measure ever put forth in the Montana legislature. It’s a tough call – there’s the guy who demanded that his legislative salary be paid in gold, and the guy who put forward a drunk driving measure . . . in favor of it. 

So if corporations are people, my friends, and they get to vote, they can be tried, convicted and sent to jail when they commit a crime, right? Right? Oh, we just keep bailing them out with taxpayer dollars instead? Yeah, figures. 

 Top 5 effects of corporations getting the vote: 

5. “Election Day” is now “BOGO Day” – buy one vote, get one free! 

4. Voter loyalty program – use your card every time you vote, and get up to 10% off the purchase of your next Senator.

3. Fast food executives have the option of supersizing their votes. 

2. Absentee votes can always be cast from the Cayman Islands.

1. At the next “Presidents’ Day Blowout!” you can buy an actual president.
