6. and now more people will lose jobs..BUT I have a feeling that a LOT of those |
|
people who worked there, had to know that their practices were unsanitary/unsafe/illegal..and yet no one "blew the whistle".:(

7. The company owners can form a new company this afternoon and |
|
bankrupt it tomorrow if they feel like it - the 7 year thing only sticks to us mere mortals.
Corporations are treated differently because of the way they're structured.

10. Even though corporations take advantage of person-hood, they also can hide behind |
|
business laws for bankruptcy. Why do they have it both ways?. We need to get rid of person-hood for corporations.
What really needs to be done is to release the pot smokers from prison and imprison several thousand CEOs and Board of directors for fraud, theft, money laundering, bribery. You know the normal republican way of doing things.
