If corporations are people, why can they be owned? And if corporations are people, then why don't people have the same rights as corporations? You know, the tax breaks and so on. And if corporations are people, why is corporate criminal liability such a pain in the ass to figure out since you can't sentence corporations to jail time and it's really a conglomerate so punishing the right person or, as it may be, group of people, is a difficult decision to make that is often somewhat arbitrary and you definitely can't throw a corporation in jail or execute it, at least not in any meaningful sense...
Oh right, that's because CORPORATIONS AREN'T PEOPLE. People are people. Once we give equal rights to all of our citizens, then we can start meting out rights to other entities. Until then, let's focus on our own citizens, shall we???
