said by G_Poobah :Corporations should have NO rights relative to an individual. Executives and shareholders and employees of corporations should suffer punishments worse than citizens if they are convicted of any crime. The loss of money is NOT EQUAL to the loss of liberty. That's a problem. Wow. That's enlightened.
So, if your parents' 401(k) holds stock in such a criminal company, your parents should go to jail? After all, they're shareholders. Shareholders should go to jail because they allowed themselves to get ripped off?
Some line worker in Wyoming should go to jail because their whoring, coking, embezzling CEO drove the company into the ground?
Interesting world-view.
