When a dealer that’s more predatory and businesslike than the norm—one who doesn’t live with his mother—goes down, the Feds confiscate his assets (before sending him to jail for graduate work in gang studies and homosexual rape).

But compared to corporations, dealers are penny ante.

So, last I checked, corporations were legal persons—with rights of free speech, and everything.

But who said corporations got to live forever?

Suppose a corporation ends up murdering people. Why shouldn’t the corporation become legally defunct, and its assets confiscated by the government, just like the dealer’s would be?

Yeah, yeah, the shareholders. Last I checked, the shareholders were supposed to be the owners of the corporatoins—so they’re responsible for what it does, right? So, if they have information that they hold stock in a murderous corporation, they should sell it, right?

Seems to me like this puts all the incentives where they ought to be. The executives have a new spur not to do bad, illegal stuff like murdering people, and the shareholders have every incentive to exercise due diligence. And neither party wants to lose their assets to the government.

I’d start out with the health insurance companies, because they really are murdering people by determining treatment instead of doctors, and denying people care.
