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 @johntimaeus @FritzAdalis certainly disbanding a company with a sick corporate culture is praxis but decisions are made by _people_ who should be held personally accountable for the consequences of their choices

@raven667 @johntimaeus @FritzAdalis

yes. human beings should be held responsible. boards realizing that they aren't immune from criminal decisions might deter other folks from making the same bad choices.

@paul_ipv6 @johntimaeus @FritzAdalis there are always going to be fresh idiots, but someone has to remove them from the power to harm
