If I run a man over with my car, and kill him; I am asked
to pay $200,000 in damages.
Therefore a human life is worth $200,000.
As an example, then, if Apple's worth is $600 billion,
they should be allowed to cast 3 million votes. They are
headquartered in California? Then they ought to be able
to cast their votes in Cupertino, California.
That will take care of all those pesky people that want
to put a rein on corporate profit. They are only
the consumers, generate nothing. All wealth is generated
by corporations or by trade in Wall street, so why should
we allow the riff-raff to dictate how the government is
run?
Its time Corporations woke up and propose amendments to
the laws, constitutions and the like to bring them into
alignment with international finance and wealth.

The system may be influenced by money, but Google has plenty
of that.
More than Apple? Who knows? But I predict Apple is going to
bleed some over Motogoogle's latest move.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

"Unless this is corrected any reform efforts that come through that system
are likely to become corrupted to serve only the interests of large corporate
political donors."
The problem is that it isn't in the interests of the large political donors to
correct it.
I believe the term is "Positive Feedback Loop".[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Interesting that the specific items Google want to change
mostly benefits themselves.
1) Shorten patent life. (benefits all innovators. Hurts
trolls.)
2) Fine someone filing a suit and loosing (hurts trolls)
3) Forbid abstract patents that patent doing something on-
line. (hurts everyone having a patent in a market google
wants to enter)
I would really, really have liked if they said: "Kill SW
patents. Kill Business process patents".
