Explain; and person = corporation in legalese.

u/AnarchySpeach summed it up pretty well. I do not agree with you that the U.S. is a corporation.

Oh it is a corporation. Most importantly, why does this matter? Well in fact a corporation is a dictatorial entity where things like free speech are suspended. When you agree to work for a corporation, you agree to many terms. As far as the US corporation is concerned, these terms are: YOU ARE ITS PROPERTY TO DO WITH AS IT PLEASES.

Now, would it be possible to de-corporatize the citizenry? Of course. But a requirement for this is that the citizenry would wish to do so, and demand it be done on a large scale.

Do we begin to see the problem yet?

I don't see it. Are you saying that everyone owns one share of said corporation?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

No. Every citizen IS one share of said corporation, owned by some "special people".

If each citizen is a share, then they own it. How does someone else own it/them?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No. If each citizen is a share, then the citizens ARE OWNED by the owners of the corporations. You own a corp by owning its shares. It's slavery under another name, really.

And if you think it isn't, think again: all that US corporate debt, to the tune of 170 trillion, is using THE CITIZENS as the collateral. The US corporation "government" borrows trillions from the Fed, which is owned by a gang of banksters, and YOU are the collateral.
