I say, let's make corporations even more like people:
- A corporation, through its action or inaction, causes a large catastrophe or many deaths, should be (after a proper trial) subject to execution. Once found guilty, the corporation is to be dissolved with all its assets transferred to trust funds to those adversely affected and to non-executive employees.
- A corporation, through its action or inaction, causes some lesser catastrophe, should be (after a proper trial) subject to imprisonment of its executive officers. The officers like to get large salaries, bonuses and golden parachutes -- take the rewards without the risks. Now, they get the risks, as well.
- Just as people are not permitted to buy other people, corporations are not permitted to buy other corporations. If you want your corporation to grow, make a better product or price it better than the other guy. Buying out your competition is inconsistent with market forces.
