dblack: " It sounds like what you mean to say is that corporations are formed to minimize personal responsibility. That's what I'm questioning about the corporate charter. That doesn't seem right to me. "
Doesn't seem right to me either. Just because a person creates or joins a business entity should not exempt them from prosecution if they engage in illegal activities or unfair business practices. I think with the big bucks should also go big responsibilities. If you are the CEO, like John Corzine, and your company loses millions and billions of investor money, then you should be held accountable. "I didn't know" is not an acceptable answer, you're supposed to know and you're still culpable either way. Same deal in gov't, like Holder and Fast and Furious, you're responsible to know what's going on under your watch, and even if you ain't guilty you should be charged for malfeasance as the CEO, or AG.
Yep. Holder should be put on trial for murder.
