1. The stockholders and management of corporations
convicted of felonies should lose their right to vote and run
for public office.
2. A registry should be maintained in each
area of criminal corporations, and any corporation convicted of
a felony should be required to register with the local police.
A notice should be sent to all of their neighbors that a criminal
corporation is taking up residence in their locality.
3. Criminal corporations should lose all
corporate welfare
benefits and government contracts.
4. Criminal corporations should be required
to make weekly visits to parole officers, and their stockholders
and management should be subject to random drug tests (either
urine or hair).
5. Criminal corporaions should not be allowed
to operate within 500 yards of a school, church, or library.
6. Criminal corporations should be required
to place the phrase "A criminal corporation" on all
advertising, signs, and vehicles as a public warning.
7. If criminal corporations violate the terms
of their parole, their stockholders and officers should go to
jail.
8. In addition to the fine on the corporation,
the personal
assets of stockholders should be forfeited for their criminal
negligence and lack of oversight.
9. The increasing number of lawless corporations
calls for
stricter penalties. BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY FOR CRIMINAL
CORPORATIONS! In this context, the 'death penalty' is the closure
of the corporation, the forfeiture of its assets to its victims
and/or the government, and the winding up of its affairs by a
court appointed receiver.
10. Stockholders and management should be
required to wear monitoring bracelets for the duration of their
parole, and may not travel outside of their jurisdiction without
a written pass from their parole officer.
