Finally, Citizens United comes to its logical conclusion.

A judge in Delaware, where many big U.S. companies are incorporated, ruled ‌on Tuesday that a small town that allows corporations to vote in municipal elections was not violating the state's constitution.

@FritzAdalis

seems like if a corporation can vote, it should be paying the same tax rate as any other voter...

@paul_ipv6 @FritzAdalis

And be subject to the death penalty if they kill someone

@johntimaeus @FritzAdalis

i am no fan of corporal punishment but i do think that if corporations try to claim that they are "persons", they need to accept all responsibilities and punishments. not sure exactly how we would give life imprisonment to corporations but i'm willing to figure out how we hold them just as responsible as anyone else for any illegal acts they perpetrate.

if they kill, they should be held fully accountable under the law.

@paul_ipv6 @FritzAdalis

Or break the corporate veil and directly prosecute the board members and C-suite?

@johntimaeus @FritzAdalis

i'm a big fan of not having incorporation being a license to let those running said corporations be immune to the consequences of their illegal actions.
