I don't feel that it's a simple yes/no question, I look at it two different ways.
1) Corporations are owned by groups of shareholders, so in that sense they are "people", a group of individual people who already have rights and representation of their own.
2) A corporation shouldn't create a new rights and representation for those shareholders, that's "double dipping", which would really allow an individual to have unlimited extra benefits through multiple corporations.
So, I feel that they are "existing people", but not "new people".
