Less government, more liberty.
Imagine if people decided they had enough and hit squads were formed. A company poisons the water supply? Hit squad appears and starts eliminating the executives of the company by hanging them from street lights. Starts happening everywhere, government powerless to stop it, the public sees it as a necessary evil.
How long before companies started operating on the up and up?
Companies do what they do because the fines are often much less than the total saved or stolen. Look at the TBTF banks, they can fraud people out of $200 billion, yet only get fined $20 billion, a profit of $180 billion. To these companies, fines are just a cost of doing business, they pay the fines. The legal aspect is if they pay the fine, they will not be charged with a crime and will not have to admit any wrongdoing. This is done so that the US Citizen cannot easily make a lawsuit against these banks.
Until the people running the corporations are actually held accountable, nothing will change.
