They're only people when it's convenient for the voting/election rights of the rich people who own them.....so actually a lot like slaves.

What about corporations that own other companies? Or merges/acquisitions (cannibalism)? Maybe we should take the whole corporations are people to the natural conclusion. It would at least make it interesting for a while.
