14. You know I'm not sure of that.
And I mean not sure. What if we were to strip them of both their tax liability and their personhood status? It is through the tax code that they manipulate our laws and largely for tax preferences that they need to buy political influence.

Sooner or later all the money that cycles through corporations has to find itself in the hands of real people doesn't it? A real person is far less apt to accumulate the power of a corporation so they can't game the system the same way Exxon can.

I havent thought it quite through, but it seems like buried somewhere in that there is a chance to improve the way things are.
