| Atypical Problem : Megacorps paying of government regulators. Customers getting it without lube in every orifice possible.
Solution : Quite simple. Prevent ANY corporation from donating,supporting,advocating ANY political organization. No PAC's, No donations, no RIGHTS of any kind. It's time to roll back the power of the corporation, I believe, that even though a corporatio has LEGAL rights of a person, it has no MORAL or ETHICAL beliefs that a person has. Thus, it should not be allowed in ANY way to affect any decision the government should make about it. The government is SUPPOSED to be 'for the people', instead we've become a government 'for the corporation'

| You are trying to be sarcastic, but you are correct. Shareholders, Employees and customers are people. Lets see, they all have ethics, they all have morals, they can all go to jail, so yes, they are people. Pray tell me, how do you send a 'corporation' to jail? I mean, isn't a corporation SUPPOSED to be bound by the same laws we are? Oh, wait,you CAN'T send a corporation to jail. So, why do they get to write laws that can take away OUR freedoms, yet they get off with a fine? Please, tell me, if the law says I can go to jail, tell me what the corporate equivalent of that is?

Do you seriously not know what a corporation is?
You say the word "corporation" as if it were referring to a deity of some sort. |

Problem is how to police the corp - right now it is easy to pass money thru 5 different entities to give more money to politicians without it being traced back to the start. It is the EXACT same way that those rallies against govt health care were supported by the right wing. After many denials by the right wing evidence finally came to light about who was providing money and supporting the rallies.
Companies tend to be a bit more careful - not that it can't be found out but the ones that do circumvent the law have lots of ties and networks in place.
