It would make sense if they could, as an entity, vote. They hold a large stake in this country.
It used to be you had to own land to vote. I'm not sure were better off with the masses voting.

Corporations are people in the sense that they have a vested interest in the direction the country goes. They have a right to donate money to political campaigns, etc. because they have an interest in the outcome.
Corporations are not autonomous like humans are. Therefore they need a management team to act as their "brain". Also, the profits generated have to go to a human since corporations themselves can't really spend/save/invest money - people use money. When a corporation is sold, it is essentially swapping brains from the buyer to the seller and the seller is assigning the right to be paid to the buyer.

A corporation is a legal entity owned by people. These owners have limited liability.

so can people, if you have a birth certificate, you are registered as government property. You get some 'free' services so they can protect their investment in you then tax your lifetime earnings and spends. Try raising a child without accessing government services and you will see how free you and your children are.

I guess this is why they don't want people to have genders? Otherwise how could a male company have a "merger" with another male company?
