So are the citizens.

Don't get me started on "corporations are people" bullshit. I use "citizen" with a much deeper meaning.

Citizens are subjects, they have active voice. You may mean something deeper, but others will happily support only the “active voice” part. Corporations must not have it.

But in certain sense you are right. Corporate management should behave as citizens, and their citizen duties must be superior to their duties to shareholders.
