The Obama Justice Dept. should start seeking the death penalty against corporations. |

3. The penalty for that should be total and permanent dissolution. |

8. They could be charged as an accomplice or accessory. |
|
I wish this concept would be taken seriously.
It is fundamentally unfair for corporations to reap all of the benefits of personhood but not have to face the same negative consequences for their actions.
