Hard to see a lot of folks disagreeing with that at first blush. But it would revolutionize a lot of things in the law and campaign finance, which depend on the odd fantasy that corporations are people. Not composed of people - actual people in the eyes of the law, which grants them any number of rights inappropriate to corporations which ought to be reserved to living, breathing citizens.
This is also something that could very well be rectified by passing laws, so I probably shouldn't have included it. But it irks the heck out of me and I got on a roll of things that irk me about government when I was writing the OP (like the statehood for Washington D.C. thing).
