No they cannot engage in speech, because they do not have mouths.

Only people have mouths. A corporation is not a person, it is a group of people. And those people are the ones who pay taxes and engage in speech. Corporations do not exist, outside of them being a representation for the owner behind them.

Groups of people have the right to speak collectively.
