Next up, prison time for traffic tickets and littering. Got to maximize those profits, and parole is bad for shareholder value.

In a way, this is really not unlike slavery in its nature. It is the undue extraction and exploitation of wealth and money through abusive means. This time around it&#x27;s just that the source of that money and wealth is not human labor as in the industrial age, it&#x27;s tax money and debt that is piled on all of society as it is percolated to the top.<p>We need to pass some laws that make jailing corporate executives, bankers, lobbyists, and politicians highly profitable. There should be a kind of profit sharing, a civil forfeiture law, with prisons when moneys earned through and during illicit activities are confiscated from the top. I guarantee that there would either be a frenzy to go after white collar criminals, or the system would collapse because that&#x27;s all quite a bit too close for comfort for those involved.
