I think that would be extreme and I think that penalties for white collar crimes are already kind of high. But that is just my opinion. It is also my opinion that greed and corruption and these types of crimes are what is actually killing America. So I will have to reluctantly agree with you. Time to make these people actually worried that something bad will happen to them if they commit these crimes. That goes for billionaires as well.

Well the joke that Carlin made was that you can't imprison drug dealers since they're not afraid.  If they were afraid they wouldn't be dealing drugs, nor are they afraid of death.  But, threaten their accountants and see if drug dealers will deal if they can't hide their money.  You'll cut drug traffic down.  So in this case, cut down on money laundering, and threaten the rich who do everything they can to avoid taxes and see how fast the debt will disappear.
