Although I agree a little it's not that simple, unless the capitalization was only three or four thousand bucks. If 1,000,000 of us get together and put in 100 bucks each that's still a very small cap corp and we all could loose our investment in toto. So many folks, maybe you included, mistake the corporate cronyism for this liability issue. Often the government protectionism limits the corps liability. On the whole, less government protection, corps have been made over and over to make a harmed individual whole. And, in instances of corps knowingly harming folks officers have been held criminally responsible. But too often, the government shields the corp and, to me, that's the problem.
