If a corporation is a person, it should have to apply for civil service and be subject to draft. Let me know if there are any other things a 'person' is subject to that should extend to a corporation as a person.

Oh! It should have a social security number and pay into social security and taxes as a 'person' in addition to any it pays as a corporation.

It should have to carry health insurance for the corporate 'person' (let insurance companies have fun with that), or purchase it from the market like everyone else.
