Why are there Legal Fictions in the Economy?

If a 'Social' can 'hold together' with the 'Social Values' of 'Freedom and Equality', why can't a Business Corporation hold together without it having to be a 'Legal Fiction'? Business Corporations are enormous 'Money Making Machines'. Their existence is solely for the Purpose of 'making Money and making a Profit'. Of course, they are necessary because 'some' provide for the 'Well Being' of the 'Individuals' at the 'Bottom'. They are very competitive in the Business world, but they don't have any 'other Functions'. Have you ever seen a 'Business' Corporation that is not making a Profit? Why do they need protection? Is being on Top of the Forbes List their only motivation? Have you ever seen a 'Charitable Corporation' make a 'Profit'? Of course, they are also necessary because of their 'Social Function'. Thats a 'Democratic Function'. Its function is solely, in most cases, the Social Function for which it was Incorporated. The question arises, is it also a Legal Fiction? Better yet, are they entitled to the Protection of 'Personhood'? Most Individuals would respond, " Of Course". Protection from what; from some adversairial 'Social Function' that it serves? But, if it serves a Social Function, why would it need protection? If anything, it might need help to continue its 'function and contribution' to the 'Social Welfare' of the 'receipients' of their 'Purpose' for Existing. But, a 'Money Making machine' that gets 'Constitutional Protection' as a 'Person' in 'Contemplation of Law' creates many Problems within the Economy. It contributes towards an 'Unbalanced Economy' and to 'Haves and Have-nots' and furthur-more, they dont pay Taxes!. Do they count 'Legal Fictions' as 'Persons' in the 'census'? Shouldn't they also have a Democratic Function?
