Which, after all, presents a greater threat to the nation? An 80-pound grandmother or an $800 million-a-year CEO? We could create a new, temporary Cabinet-level agency: the Restoration of Trust in Corporations Department. Once the enemy has been surrounded, tough peace terms should be imposed. Individuals found to be lying or cheating should go to jail, of course. The worst offenders should also be banned -- for life -- from holding corporate or public office. Their wealth should be confiscated. Corporations, accounting firms, brokerage houses or others that have a history of dishonesty should be liquidated, with the assets turned over to the victims. "Capital" punishment could be just the deterrent that's needed. What a pollyanna, while this is precisely what is needed it is precisely what Dubya and Tricky Dicky are resisting with all their might!
