You gotta ask why no one has yet taken this corps are people crap to the next step, and demanded that corps be allowed to vote. Why should this particular class of "people" be denied their right to participate in the one-person-one-vote democratic system. 

And just think what that would do for government coffers...Everyone would rush to create new corporate shells, building a stable of votes; governments need only increase the cost of incorporation to greatly increase revenue...and reduce taxes! Win-win surely.

May God have mercy on sloppy thinking.
