From my amateur point of view, I wonder
So if corporations are "an association of individuals, created by law or under authority of law, having a continuous existence independent of the existences of its members, and powers and liabilities distinct from those of its members." Dictionary.com
then why are they being treated as individuals?
And if they are to be treated as the average individual, then why are they allowed tax loop holes? And if they are to be treated as individuals, when they are found corrupt, why arent they, they meaning the entire bunch of individuals that make up the corporation or entity, or "Wall Street" most recently comes to my mind although they may not be considered a corporation all imprisoned and prosecuted under the same terms and laws as an average person would be. That would include not being able to buy their way out of a corrupt act that they were found guilty of?
Financial Turmoil's Effect On Global Markets, National Politics
It’s been a tough week to be Barack Obama. Despite his best efforts to reassure investors about the health of the US economy, the president’s words failed to stabilize dramatic ups and downs in the global markets this week. And on the heels of scathing critique in the New York Times – he’s been dodging not just the usual slings and arrows of conservatives – but of his liberal base too. Ahead of tomorrow’s Iowa straw poll, Republican presidential hopefuls duked it out last night in Ames. But perhaps the most talked about sound bite came from former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney hours before the debate in an informal stump speech at the Iowa State Fair. Then, rising acrimony in the Verizon strike; Whitey Bulger’s girlfriend is indicted; and an American as top cop of Scotland Yard? Plus – thumbs up, thumbs down on charging $16.95 a pound for “fresh water crayfish” and calling it lobster? We’re joined by Denterlein’s Terence Burke and Boston Globe columnists Scot Lehigh and Adrian Walker.
