Are you really suggesting that Corporate Officers aren't able to enter contracts, sue people, etc.? And what the Hell have immigrants got to do with any of this?
- hannasanarion 7y agoCorporate officers are able to enter contracts, sue people, etc, as themselves. Not as the company, which is a separate person from themselves. When you buy a product from Apple and they refuse to respect their warranty, you don't sue Tim Cook, you sue Apple. You can only do that because Apple is incorporated. >you have the argument about taxing the citizens of other countries
- Wildgoose 7y agoIf a company poisons baby-milk, who do you arrest? The company? It's a "person" after all. (I presume you know this, but this was an actual case in China).
- hannasanarion 7y agoYou arrest the employees if what they did was criminal (which would be the case whether a company is involved or not) and fine the company, or in extreme cases, revoke the company's charter (aka corporate death penalty). Being able to be imprisoned is not a defining feature of a legal person, this line of argument will get you nowhere.
