Now that corporations, which are not citizens since they aren’t even humans, have the right to free political speech, I say let them be taxed. I’d prefer that only the profits that are collected by the shareholders be taxed and that corporations be barred from all political involvement.

Corporations may not be humans, but each one represents a group of humans, just as do unions, churches, political parties, the NRA and so on.

You can't bar speech for one of these for the reason of not being human, without risking the others. That would leave only the rich humans (e.g. George Soros) with the ability to widely broadcast their political beliefs.
