10. Corporations duty

This whole idea that corporations exist ONLY to maximize shareholder value is a fairly recent phenomena dating from Reagan's "Greed is Good" 1980's philosophy. Corporations also have a duty to their employees and the community. Any business involved in elections should have an even higher standard to ensure that the results of elections are accepted by the electorate. Letting these liars off the hook just to bank a few more bucks is a short term strategy that could end up costing the C suite guys running these businesses to face real threats the next time they are accused of cheating.
