I like Grayson. He's a progressive - not just a democrat. And he has balls.

I agree that corrupt corporate businessmen should be punished, but the death penalty is something I can never be in accordance with no matter the crime.

I was thinking he meant something along the lines of forcibly dissolving the corporation.

I'm pleased with this, but there is this one condition...

This is a chink in the armor that lobbyists will attack.

You do realize they're not taking about actually executing anyone, right?

Too bad. Hang a couple of these corporate criminals and watch how fast the rest of the fuckheads fall in line.

Aren't corporations people now? And can't people be put to death?

I might be given to rethink my opposition to the death penalty if it were interpreted this way.
