| Message | the business is the sum of its workers. it is composed of them, exists to serve their needs, and is entirely subordinate to them and the public it serves. it is not a person, and therefor does not deserve "equality". corporate "equality" means granting immortal, amoral entities legal standing only human beings deserve. |
| Date | 12:49:22, July 07, 2008 CET | From | Republican Patriciate Coalition | To | Debating the Business and Worker Equality Act |
| Message | Actually no, the business is the people who run it, who decide which workers to use for it. The workers are just that, workers. |
