It's crazy how a corporate entity can own a company, sell off everything that makes it valuable, and then not pay a dime when said company inevitably goes bankrupt.

Welfare, bankruptcy, and avoiding legal obligations are all apparently fine for corporations, but not people.

Yet another reason corporations aren’t people. Unless you’re a fucking vulture like Romney (formerly of Bane [sic] Capital, who bankrupted Toys-R-Us).
