Any corporation that doesn't pay taxes --- case dismissed. If corporations don't pay for the upkeep of judges, courts, clerks, bailiffs, marshals, not even enough to pay for one juror on jury duty, then they should have no standing to sue. You want to enforce a contract? Sorry, case dismissed. You want to prosecute a patent infringement? Sorry, case dismissed. You want to collect a debt from someone? Sorry, case dismissed.

As the immigrant entrepreneur conveyed with his limited English, "No tickee, no washee".
