If Corporations are people...

In that sense, corporations are indeed people, and if a corporation acts poorly, the effort should be to attack those who made the decisions/broke the laws and not the institution itself.

Hasn't this definition been stretched a little bit though? Considering that corporations under "freedom of speech" construed as freedom to give campaign donations has allowed corporations' donations to be indistinguishable from those given by persons?

note***- i'm asking the above question based on an article I read about a year ago, so sorry if thats not quite how it works.
