4. It is not possible to be too harsh in this

People and ecosystems are dying because of Citizens United and the 1% coup of our government.

Not just at home, but all over the world.

The Corporation makes an excellent servant when given a limited, specific job to do and well-defined parameters of acceptable behavior....and it becomes the most horrible master when given superhuman powers, no regulations or taxation of excess profits, and all the resources a highly militarized government can bring to bear on its opposition.

I begin to think that the rules of corporations should be well-defined, their life-span limited, and all of it encapsulated in the Constitution, so Fat Tony and Roberts cannot improvise.
