Drug Dealers or Corporate Raiders – Who should do more Prison Time.

The Federal Government has no problem recognizing the damage done by Drug Dealers and the harm it poses society.

But what of the harm to society that is done by corporate Raiders who ship entire industries overseas and lay waste to people’s lives, families, cities and even entire States in their wake?

5. Depends on what level of drug dealer
If it's the kingpin, then the time should be equal to corporate raiders -- and they should have to share a cell.
