For a number of years, the Federal government has egregiously and unconstitutionally treated corporations as "people."

If a corporation is a person, then it should be held accountable for deaths and injuries as we would a person. 

Corporations such as Union Carbide (who are ~50% responsible for the Bhopal disaster,) should be charged with murder for every death, penalizing those in top management and their board at the time with as muderers.

Corporations should have their top management removed and jailed, and government appointed replacements required to operate that corporation to the benefit of their stockholders, suppliers, employees, subcontractors, and the general public--taking special care to protect the public and public resources, oil and gas are largely public resources, as are all government leases for resource use. Companies which abuse or fail to follow EPA and other government regulations and laws should face a similar fate. And those who cannot obey these rules and cause environmental damage should have their leasing rights removed--management in charge of such operations should be barred from ever working in resource extraction on government property.

In this fast moving time, in which entire mountains may be disassembled in months, we cannot afford to allow damages to be done before stopping damaging operations.

Additionally, leases should contain provisions for the government to take at least 50% of the profits from such extractions, as fair compensation for the lease.

It may have made sense to subsidize these resource extraction companies a century ago, but they have long since attained the financial ability to extract them without aid from the people through the government.

Also, because we have very good records of stockholding, we should eliminate the laws which protect shareholders from confiscation of profits earned through illegal acts or to restore environmental damage.
