Mitt Romney was heckled after defending corporate rights on the campaign trail at the Iowa State Fair Thursday, TPM reports: Responding to a question from an audience member as to why Social Security should be included in deficit talks when it doesn't add to the deficit, Romney drifted into a defense of corporate rights.
"Corporations are people, my friend," he said. "Of course they are." After receiving jeers from the audience over the quote, he elaborated: "Everything corporations earn goes to people. Where do you think it goes? Whose pockets? People's pockets. Human beings, my friend."

Romney also raised his voice at another heckler, "If you don’t like my answer, you can go vote for someone else."
