Really? What corporation has your best interests at heart? What corporation places anything BUT the pursuit of profits above all else? Hint: not any successful one.
And free speech? Puh-leeze. To go with your premise, corporations have free speech rights like people. Except they're better than people, because you can't jail a corporation for not obeying the law in the search for profits. You can fine them, sure, but that's no big deal as corporations are flush with money and lawyers. So what they've done is turn YOU into a second class citizen.
Your free speech rights don't mean diddly when major corporations can buy and sell politicians at will. You think they're going to listen to what YOU have to say, when they're getting 99.9% of their campaign funding from a corporation?
Free speech? You think this is good for free speech? Let's take one of your heroes, Glenn Beck. Beck likes to inflame people against the government. When the government is a corporate-tocracy, how much dissent do you think they'll allow?
The founding fathers are rolling in their graves.
