they are super persons.

They, unlike human people, can't be sent to jail and most times are only fined no matter how egregious the offense committed.

They also have the power to influence the political sphere with huge amounts of money way beyond that which a single individual can give.

We are an Corporate Oligarchy or at least we will soon be one...

Corporate persons can and do buy and sell other corporate persons.

Corporate persons sometimes murder other corporate persons (vulture capitalism).

Corporate persons are neither natural born, nor naturalized citizens.

Corporate persons are and should be seen as unnatural citizens.

Corporate persons sometimes should be decorporatized (killed).
