How about this to fix the obscene SCOTUS corporate 'person hood' decision?
Since they are persons due all the rights of persons, why not let them assume all the responsibilities of persons? I want o see IBM called to jury duty but the first thing is to make them PAY THEIR TAXES.

Abolish all the tax loopholes given to corporations and make them pay the same rate as people on all their INCOME.

I don't get to pay taxes on the money I have in the bank at the end of the year why should they?

Make they pay FICA on everything and withholding on all income as it is earned.

How long before they are pushing their Senate and Congress critters to undo this 'person hood'?

1. How about being tried for crimes?
So when, for example, Union Carbide kills a few thousand Indians with poison gas, we can just kill the company?
