"Twenty Five Protesters arrested at a US conservative conference"

Or so the headline reads in the Huffington Post.

Geez the Koch Brothers sure do have thin skins don't then, a few placards and they call 911 in tears.
Frankly as a democrat who has had to endure all sorts of cringeworthy disruptions to campaign events, committee meetings etc, I'm not impressed.
We never call 911 on anyone's ass, I've seen people ranting and raving at candidates in fully disassociated mode like Jared Loughner and still no gendarmes were summoned, I say the Koch Brothers should man up and grow a pair.

These would be the same Koch Brother who used the Citizens United decision to completely corporatize the last election in a fashion not seen since late 19th century, an era of Big Money Politics  that gave us such statesmen as William Howard Taft and that Lycurgus of the Potomac, William B. McKinley.
My question is, if corporations are now people in the campaign finance sense, why can't we tax then at 15% of the gross for the purposes of Social Security?
IBM is a person right?
People pay Social Security Taxes...right?
Ergo IBM and Ford and the Koch Brothers' Corporate Entity owe the Social Security Fund 15% vigorish.
Simple sez Humble Elias.
