If corporations wrong the plebeian, regular people, they don't even get a smack on the wrist. Banks foreclosed on thousands of homes with bad or no paperwork and they have hardly been fined. Bad foreclosures are lives ruined.
But if do something like steal secrets from a fellow corporation and go to jail.
This country is SCREWED until corporations are under control.
