    But won’t someone think of the poor corporations?! What about their free speech?

    • Roberts, probably. I didn’t actually read citizens united.

        I’m all for the corporate death penalty. Need a bailout, sure. C-suite is fired, assets seized, and corporation becomes nationalized.

        Or something like that. There’s a reason no one has consulted me on the best way to accomplish this.

          I mean if the government is providing a bailout, at a minimum they should get shares of the company at the current market value. If that’s a controlling share, well then it’s as good as nationalized.
