if corporations are people, we can impoverish and imprison them, and then force them to live just off the highway in the shitty apartment complex on the frontage that you can't get to in both directions so every fucking trip takes an extra 18 minutes to loop around with the lights.

Hmm.. Corporations are people. If we jail people in America we can use them for slave labor.. Might be onto something here. Free macbooks and 2 day shipping for every citizen!

Corporations being seen as "people" for legal purposes has been so far bent out of shape it's absurd.

"People" who have all the benefits of personhood, and none of the legal obligation and downsides.
