I doubt that if speculators have to pay a small percentage on windfall profits they are going to stop speculating. We have to start doing something to prevent the siphoning of economic benefits from the larger economy into the hands of a few elites.

Corporate personhood (a bad term I'll admit) is an issue that should be fought, at least in steps. Whittling away the enormous power that status has given to corporations does not have to be seen as an unachievable goal, if the majority is made to realize how it would help to correct the imbalance of power and resources against individuals and small and mid-sized businesses.
