Recently, the United States Supreme Court ruled that corporations are persons and can in fact, make unlimited contributions in a political campaign.
Here's a question, since corporations are deemed persons, shouldn't someone (Massey Energy or at least the CEO of Massey) be held accountable for the murder of 29 coal miners in a West Virginia coal mine that was cited as unsafe due to high methane gas levels, which caused the explosion in the mine that killed the workers?
Since corporations are persons, isn't BP responsible for the oil leak disaster in the Gulf of Mexico that is slowly, but surely destroying that waterway?
Shouldn't Massey Energy be punished in the same way as a person who murdered 29 people in a bombing or shooting rampage?
Shouldn't BP be punished for it's negligence in the same manner that a person who was caught sabotaging an oil rig that resulted in the current mess in the Gulf would be?
After all, BP is a person, according to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Massey Energy is a person, according to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Get the point?
Punish these bastards to the fullest extent of the law.
