Here's the paradox in this whole concept of "corporate personhood." When it comes to rights, Republicans say corporations are people. But when it comes to the responsibilities of personhood - like paying taxes, being sued for negligence or criminal manslaughter, that sort of thing - their response is "Are you crazy? We're talking about corporations here, not people."
You see, to right-wingers, corporations deserve the same rights benefits as an individual sentient person (if not more), but none of the responsibilties and accountabilities that go into making those rights happen.
