It's a ridiculously easy question. Folks get it wrong because Marxists have been demonizing corporations for almost 200 years.

Corporations are 100% owned, run and staffed by people. There are no corporations that are not people.

They are recognized under the law as a "fictional" person. Corporations can be taxed, criminally charged and fined just as folks. What they can't do that people can do is vote, but individually of course they can do that too - just not as a collective.

Corporations are groups of people, typically with the intent of engaging in business and making a profit. Even non-profit corporations have owners, board members, executives and staff.

Corporations are people. It's the easiest question of the day.

(Government is a special type of corporation, and government is people, too.)
