Well, yes...and this is an excellent point.
The state is a governing entity empowered by its people. Its role is to mind the well-being of the people. It is accountable to the people.
If this includes governing entities such as corporations, then so be it. Corporations have rules and regulations to abide by for one main reason: for the well-being of the people.
This is why the state governs corporations, and corporations should not govern the state. I'm against the idea that corporations should have personhood. They should not be able to vote.
People, on the other hand, collectively should have power and influence over the state via democratic means. But this goes both ways, the state also has power over people in that there are laws in place for the general well-being of everyone.
