The words "People" and "Americans" now refer to corporations and businesses only. America no longer has citizens, just consumers who will buy whatever b.s. we sell them.

"My campaign is about helping people who need help"*

*note that by "people" I mean "corporations" mostly. Offer of help not available to women, racial and ethnic minorities, LGBT people, immigrants, people with disabilities, union members, non-Christians, Democrats, or people who are poor. The "help" in question shall not take the form of food stamps, health care or even help purchasing health insurance, education subsidies or loans, a living wage, a right to collective bargaining, any form of protection from predatory corporate practices, equal rights, or anything else that might cost a billionaire or corporation a few dollars or cause them an inconvenience.
