Corporate personhood enables a lot of the criminal behavior certain goblins get up to. People should not be able to commit crimes and have a paper entity take the fall. It's enabled corporations to grow to ridiculously oversized international things, where they actually claim the inability to know what their own company is doing as a legal defense - it protects the corporats that sell us out and move manufacturing to China for slave labor.
It's the opposite of right wing. It's government fiat enabling unrestrained corporate power - big government harming the market.
And your own example is another part - the smaller corporations that used to invest in their communities are attacked by government authority for doing so. Government meddling creates problems.
Workforce optimization can also mean H1B imports and foreign factories and call centets.
Corporate personhood is fine, if it is, indeed, personhood.
If a person kills someone, that person is put to death. If a corporation does so, it too should be put to death. "It was an accident!", well, accidental death carries 10 years in prison, where a person can't do a normal job, so the business must suspend all business activities for 10 years, and any owners of the business must ensure this punishment is carried out, under penalty of law, so no just making a new business name, you can't change your name to get out of a criminal punishment.
On top of this, individual persons can't do any number of things corporations are allowed to do, such as freely move between nations, offshore tax shelters, employ related peoples, etc.
