The problem isn't corporate personhood, or citizens united, or any of that.

The problem is that we've allowed corporations to grow so large.

The problem isn't a corporations right to give money to a politician, the problem is that they have too much money to give (or maybe even that politicians are taking money from anyone).

Claiming corporate personhood is the issue is to ignore the real cause of these problems. Corporate personhood would not be the problem it is if it were not for the fact that many of them have been allowed to grow so large that 'too big to fail' became a thing. Money == speech is not a problem unless we've allowed corporations and native persons to amass so much wealth that they can use their speech to drown out the voices of masses.

You're right that we can legislate anything we want. Maybe we should get back to breaking up corporations that have grown too large, legislate how much money a person can make (i.e. tax brackets in the upper echelons being taxed at 90%+), or legislate the money out of politics.

Corporate personhood is not only applicable to contracts and land ownership, and pretending that's the case is at best dishonest. 2
