I mean, the corporations want the same rights as the voting tax payer, shouldn't the corporate personhood that kills employees on several occasions, be tried for murder and if found guilty, be subjected to the same penalty as the rank and file tax payer?

Their motive to cut corners and take chances with people's lives is clearly greed. The perpetrators show no remorse for having killed these people. The people who did this are caught lying several times, so they can't be trusted to tell the truth. They even lied under oath to congress. This same corporate personhood has killed not just in the Gulf, but at several of their other instillations. They have terrorized hundreds of thousands who set waiting for the oil to come ashore and destroy their homes and their means of subsisting.

6. Good luck with that.

You even admit yourself that it was "negligent." Murder 1 requires premeditation and intent to murder. Any judge would throw out such a charge long before it reached a jury.

3. In More Honorable Times
A person responsible for this type of catastrophe would eventually commit suicide with regretful letter left behind.

Then again, we live in a society dominated by people who have no shame.

5. The dominant corporate personality
I strongly believe that one needs to be a complete sociopath to become the head of a large and modern American corporation.

Because any empathy for your fellow human beings means you can't do the job that needs to be done. And you lack the shark like treachery to rise to the top.
