> If I do a crime, I go to jail. If a corporation does a crime, they only need to pay a small fine. Many corporate executives have gone to prison for crimes they committed while working. > Corporations can influence laws in ways that I can't. I can't even talk to a politician. You can talk to a politician if you bother to call or email their office. Stop being obtuse. > Corporations have far better access to government contracts and the tender process than regular citizens. There is subtle, but harmful corruption constantly taking place behind the scenes. You want individuals to bid directly for government contracts? > Not only that, but the people who work for corporations are, to some extent, shielded from the crimes that they commit on behalf of corporations as it limits their liability by design. It absorbs and neutralizes liability. Nobody ends up taking responsibility. The crimes keep getting more frequent; corporations keep finding people who are more and more desperate and willing to commit crimes on their behalf. Opinion, not fact. Maybe you're complaining they should be held more accountable, which is valid. But working under a corporation can't prevent anything if the DOJ decides to go after the individual perpetrator. Thanks for falling for the author's clickbait though..
