Ralph Nader points out, elected officials have surrendered their constitutional power to do the bidding of corporations in return for corporate money. It is a system of legalized bribery. The consent of the governed has become a joke. Politicians in the two ruling parties are the agents of corporate exploitation and oppression, the enemies of democracy. They no longer hold public hearings at the committee level. They govern largely in secret. They pass bills, most written by corporate lobbyists, and appoint judges to protect corporations from lawsuits by those these corporations have wronged, injured or defrauded.
Bring back the guillotines and parade the corrupt offenders in the public square before the loppings.

20 years chain gang manual labour might be a more appropriate punishment. Or 20 years cleaning public toilets.
@rogerbenham > Don't forget that they all have permanent healthcare coverage which is better than ours ever was.
@OldGoat43 Well they lose everything on the chain gang.
It is very sad but I fear that the only way out of the mess that we've allowed to grow is through an overthrow of the power elites and bringing the country sized corporations back under the control of the commons. Arresting the leaders as Iceland has done to the bankers. Arresting the fossil fuel execs and imprisoning them for their crimes against humanity.
