The Libertarian Offer

Okay corporation-haters, I have an offer for you. I will agree to the elimination of corporations -- that is, executives will not be protected from legal action -- if you agree to eliminate unions.

Let's restore the sanctity of the individual and of individual responsibility. You will be responsible for your own fate. If you take risks and are wildly successful, good on you. If you break the law, too bad for you; welcome to prison.

I suspect both unions and corporations try to get away with as much as they can. The problem is that criminal-members are abstracted from legal penalties levied against their group. They should not be. Individuals should share in both the successes and failures of the groups they participate in. After all, as an individual, you made a decision to participate in that group, then re-made that decision every single day you returned to work.

Individuals good. Groups bad.
