Corporate CEO's should be horsewhipped...


Not only should they be horsewhipped, but in full public view, then all of their holdings should be liquidated and THEN they should be run out of town. Yep, all of their assets should be liquidated and given back to the people they sold the American dream to, only to give them a taste, before cruelly jerking it away from them.

They sold us all a bill of goods. They sold us constantly, in television commercials; a constant bombardment of them. Low mortgages, new cars, vacations in the Bahamas... Easy credit. Too easy. The American dream, and it could be the average Joe's. You work, you save, you invest, you buy into the dream with a house and a car and you start to feel settled. Maybe you overbought. Maybe you didn't. But the fact remains. These fuckers sold you on the dream. To me, this is something that can never be taken lightly and shrugged off. Somebody needs to pay. Trouble is, nobody except you and I are paying.

I may not get my wish, but may they all rot in hell.

3. I don't approve of torture. Public humiliation seems OK to me, however.
Put their names up on billboards and read them over the radio. Like child abductors and rapists.

Also make them wear clown outfits, and allow passersby to pelt them with rotten fruits.
