But I'm curious, if you think corporations are the same as people, how come their tax rate is one flat rate?

They're not. They have been afforded the rights they want by lobbying the US government and by bringing cases to the SCOTUS. These of course are the rights they want. They don't want to pay the types of taxes we do, of course.
Interstate commerce has nothing to do with corporate personhood. A business with or without personhood could have the rights to operate over state borders.
