You seem to be under the impression that people and corporations get equal treatment under the law.

You seem to be under the impression that they should. At what point does one person's right to get richer override other people's right to have a decent life?

Well, they do. It's when humans and lawyers get Involved that things become unjust and unbalanced. The law itself is quite clear, otherwise.

If a lawyer can twist it around, then we never really had the same protections.
