Proportional Punishments Petition - Please Sign!

[TheTruthBeKnown]

PROPORTIONAL PUNISHMENTS would force corporations & wealthy individuals to adhere to laws and regulations. It would also prevent paid off officeholders from interfering with efforts to make corporations accountable for their actions.

Please consider reading and signing the following petition:

http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/proportional-punishment

PARTIAL BENEFITS:
It would make punishments fit crimes.

It would force corporations to comply with laws or face severe financial punishments.

It would severely fine corporate executives who are virtually immune to any wrongdoings by them or the corporations they oversee.

Punishments would be progressive and be a percentage of corporate and executive's wealth thereby making punishments harsher with each subsequent violation.

For the first time we'd have laws that act like deterrents to corporations and the extremely wealthy.

The above are only some of the benefits of the proposed PROPORTIONAL PUNISHMENTS law. Many additional details could be added to ensure the law would be bulletproof with no wiggle room for offenders to avoid being accountable and paying ever increasing fines. Since corporations and the wealthy only respond to threats against their wealth then this law would be very effective in forcing corporations to be responsible.

Currently, all fines are ultimately paid by us. In the latest news several Wall Street banks avoided court and merely paid fines. Current fines mean nothing to corporations because they know every cent will be paid for by hard working Americans. Yes, we're punished when corporations break laws. That would change with PROGRESSIVE PROPORTIONAL PUNISHMENTS.

IMPORTANT: If you can think of any additional ways to hold the most powerful & richest in our country more accountable please feel free to share them. I'll add them to the petition. We all need to work together to ensure our country and way of life continues. Without additional laws to ensure it can I fear the US will fall victim to the escalating war on citizens and put the future of the United States in jeopardy. If we do nothing our country could become a serfdom with average Americans as mere slaves to the powerful and wealthy.

Please sign the petition that could be one tool in our citizen's toolbox to ensure our country has a future:

The petition just needs a few more signatures to reach a milestone when MoveOn will help by sending the petition to many other progressives.

Thank you!
