What Can We Do When Coporations Go Bad?

What can we do? After all most major coproations in the U.S. At least keep up a pretense about being good coporate citizens. So did Al capone in his own way. Is seizing assets called for? Possibly, except the unintended consequnce of that could be the loss of several thousand jobs wiht good pay and benifits. Does that REALLY help any one? A dwbatable point at best.

Actually a former President has already given us a guide on what to to do:

"I believe that the officers, and especially, the directors, of corporations should be held personally responsible when any corporation breaks the law."

-Theodore Roosevelt

TR had the right of it. Let the BP CEO be a cellmate for Mr. Sabford. If you fine Coporate officers, they no doubt will be reimbured by the company. I don't think you'll see to me members of the bord of directors or stok holders volunteering to do time in Federal Prison for them. And no “Club Feds” for these cretins. Send them to Atlanta.
