Heard on NPR this morning

Some reactions from GOP lawmakers. One stuck out in my head, a reaction to Obama's "not a nation of takers" comment. It was basically the line about how people who receive government benefits are victims of a trap to make them beholden to the government.

Well Ms. GOP Lawmaker, maybe it's time you tell those big corporations who receive huge government tax breaks and kickbacks that they are really a victim to make them beholden to the government, and it's time to stop being a victim and participate in society. Cut off their tax breaks and kick backs today! RESTORE BUSINESSES' HONOR! Make them no longer a despondent victim in the liburl's scheme to enslave everyone!

After all, corporations are people too, mifriend!

They have 2 choices:

1. Stop being "victims" and "takers" (and, by the way, stop characterizing Democrats that way) or stop claiming personhood (and all the benefits they get from doing so)!!!
