It would make far too much sense to put away the officers of the business for life. Leave it to Californians to take it out on the working people.

"Under the measure, sponsored by the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights, a business convicted of three felonies in state or federal courts in California would be prevented from doing business in the state."

I would think one would be enough.

How many does M$ have against it?

As more and more business flee the state, they want to make sure than we don't wind up with only the crooks!

Felony charges are leveled on companies who don't pony up to the Democratic party, the rest get misdemeanors.

The trouble is, many businessmen have the ethics of a gnat. So the businesses they create fall afoul of legal operating principles, such as:
--Truthful declarations of financial status (instead, they lie to the investors, grab these folks' investment/savings, then suddenly declare bankruptcy, and flee with the $$$.)

--Accountability to responsible management (instead, they drive a business into the ground, making the investor's stocks worthless, then buy up all the stock dirt cheap, build the business back up, and flee with the $$$.)

And many other schemes and scams to defraud the investor, and enrich these corporate criminals!

My point is, declaring an actual business to be an unlawful one isn't going to do much good...as a business is merely the instrument these creeps use. Besides, good people work for these businesses, they need their jobs.

So I think there should be some real significant jail time for 'em....I mean, why in heaven's name is Kenneth Lay (Enron CEO) still walking around free? If somebody doesn't get him 'dancing for Bubba' like, RIGHT NOW, he'll be up to something else real shortly!
