I wasn't talking about alternative punishments.

I was talking about alternatives to free enterprise, which you seem to have a problem with.

Look at the list of corporations you keep trotting out. All of them punished, or even destroyed. Madoff is in jail until 2139. That's not a typo.

We have regulations. We have laws. They are enforced. That criminals exist does not imply a failure of the system.

Do you think that if the government ran these industries all the corruption and greed would vanish? There are many historical examples of economies and large businesses run by governments. What's their record look like?
