In America today, someone whose dysfunction is the result of a corrupt system is far more likely to be held accountable than is the person or company that was the source of the corruption. Our prisons are full of victims of the system.

Some kid grows up in a disadvantaged neighborhood with poor schools and no economic prospects, then turns to selling marijuana as a way to make a living. Ends up in prison, where the same system that caused the poverty will then make a profit off his imprisonment.

You see, I agree with this wise statement, but then you advocate that we give more power to equally abusive big government agents. The real, long term solution IMO, is to decentralize both gov and corporate power. Return to community self government.

Yes but what created the corrupt person or company to begin with?? The basic competitive nature of trading for personal gains. You cannot expect this system to operate any differently on the grand scale no matter state interference because in the end...states are players too.
