You forgot that Warren also wants every corporation to sign a manifesto with the government that will require a new federal oversight group to ensure they are compliant with whatever standards the government sets, which includes but is not limited to doing what is best for "the community" as opposed to just shareholders.

that is the price of personhood.

I didn't realize you and I signed charters that require federal oversight that mandate we, under penalty of law, the do what is best for the people around us.

We did, though, whether you realize it or not. As adult men, we had to sign up for the draft in order to vote, as one example. We are governed by laws that can restrict our freedom permanently if we violate them. Corporations are subject to a different set of laws on the basis that they're not people.

Now that they're people from a legal standpoint, new rules have to be put in place so that their new freedoms are not abused.
