Here's a few thoughts. Legislatively overturn S.Ct. cases which say that
corporations are persons entitled to 14th amendment protections. Require
that all corporation enabling laws require that corporations operate in
the public interest. Then define the public interest as something more

Both Marin and Blair have responded to my recent questions that we should

1. First, could someone please explain what the political import is of this
debate over whether or not labor(power) is a commodity? I don't see the
political implications of the differences, at least as they have been
expounded to this point.
