11. Not just that, but they should be subject to incarceration and execution.

Specifically, if a company commits a crime, in addition to prosecuting the individuals behind the crime, the company itself should be prosecuted independently. Incarceration would mean a period during which they could not conduct any business of any kind. Execution would mean exactly what it sounds like it means.

I know it is unrealistic, but if you're going to call a corporation a "person" then it should be subject to the same penalties as a petty pot dealer or a murderer. They want it both ways and as of now they have it both ways.

Oh, and they should get one vote in elections held in the precinct of the corporate headquarters. And if the corporate headquarters is located off-shore then they neither get a vote, or are considered people.

What Citizens United did to our country is beyond absurd.
