    You don’t understand. See, corporations now enjoy all the same rights as an individual, but you can’t put a company in prison, that doesn’t even make sense. so instead we just fine them a small amount they won’t even notice in their books, and then we can call them “punished”, and still tax their ever-increasing profits. everybody who matters wins and all the losers (as judged by their wealth) lose like god intended them to.

    it’s like you’ve never even heard of capitalism OR christianity. The bible spells it out: “blessed are the moneylenders, for they do not even need to inherit the earth because they already own both it and you”. Let’s not forget that Jesus kicked the meek out of the temple for not being wealthy enough to even comprehend god’s glory, amen.
