[GPSCC-chat] Fw: Amendment Name/Feedback

[Drew]

John, in my opinion the lazy short cut that wrongly gave artificial entities "human" rights and equal protection in the first place *needs* to go away. Corporations are not people and this was always the wrong way for the U.S. to create the legal foundations for corporations. 

Instead corporate law needs to be reworked to make certain that corporations have three "bottom line" responsibilities : people and planet first, then (if a for profit) profit. If the corporation commits mass murder or destruction of the planet or rips off people the way the banks have, I'm all for the corporate death penalty. 

Oh and antitrust laws need to be actually enforced and the big monopolies like Micro$oft, AT&T (again), Monsanto, ADM, Lockheed, Halliburton, etc. must be broken up so that we have real competition, not just lip service. I have no worry that we are capable of creating good business law that protects the small businesses that are the economic engine of our economy without the unnatural and crazy albatross of corporate "personhood" around our necks.

We need the Green New Deal!
