I'm personally against corporate personhood... I think there should be limits on rights of a corporation, and that there should be methods in place to restrict the actions of corporations to better benefit society... that doesn't mean socialism, I mean eliminating corporate taxes, adding in international currency exchange tariffs and excise taxes, and encouraging companies to either reinvest, diversify or payout dividends...

Holding onto liquid or even un/under-used fixed assets doesn't benefit society. Part of the social contract allowing for the limited liability of companies is to benefit society with collective opportunities. With the ever-expanding IP restrictions, and even the premise of "corporate personhood" that is exceeded.

Then again, I'm pretty libertarian minded, and feel that ensuring competition is one of the most important things we can do for society.
