"I'll believe Corp's are people when [San Jose] City Hall evicts one"I explained to the protester that corporations are evicted if they don't pay their rent. That was news to him.
On the same theme, there is this sign from Occupy San Francisco (photo taken last October):
"I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one! -- I am the 99%"Of course, corporations are executed, mercilessly, all the time: it is called Chapter 7 (liquidation).
At times, when dealing with people, logic is just irrelevant. In this case, in my opinion, the Occupy crowd is not expressing a legal theory about corporations; they are expressing emotional frustration with life. If conservatives/libertarians are going to respond effectively to their points, we need to address the emotion and not the logic.

The slogan/statement "corporations are not people" is Marxist/Occupy for "we do not recognize the freedom of association for any purpose other than for the purpose of communist revolution. There is only room for one party and one organization."
Mr. Defendit, I think you may have a point there.
