Actually they are. Look up the definition of a corporation.

• JohnFen 3y ago
  People work for a corporation, but a corporation is not a person. It is a legal entity that exists separately and distinct from the people that work for it.

    Legally, a corporation is a person. It's not a human being, but it is a person. This was not some accident of the law: this was deliberately designed hundreds of years ago and is well understood outside of internet comment sections.

      > Legally, a corporation is a person. It's not a human being, but it is a person. A corporation is a unique legal entity that has a limited subset of the rights of a person, but is not considered the same as a person as a blanket statement. Specifically, a corporation is considered a "person" for the purposes of being able to enter into contracts, being able to sue and be sued, and similar.
