No, you're right. If corporations are people then they shouldn't be able to be bought and sold. You're exactly right. But hang on now, aren't corporations also taxed? Are they not taxed and then the shareholders again taxed?
It's a double edged sword and you people made your choice years ago. You weren't happy just taxing the people who made a profit, you also needed to tax the business. NOW LIVE WITH IT and next time think a little harder about what you're asking for.
