The point of defining corporations, counties, etc., as "persons" under the law is so that the same legal system will apply to them as applies to individuals.

Why? So they can be sued and punished - and taxed - under due process.

Not even Mitt Romney thinks a corporation is a "person" in the everyday sense of the word.

Saying he does is just another debating trick supposedly familiar to every college freshman: the quote ripped from context and spun with unjustified new meaning.
