What a ridiculous proposal. Eliminating corporate bankruptcy and making employees personally liable for business debts would wreck the US economy. If debtors take a haircut then it's their own fault for lending in the first place; no one is forced to buy corporate bonds and vendors always have the option of requiring cash on delivery.

Letting employees loot the company for their own profit isn't any better.


Shareholders and lenders already have the necessary legal tools to prevent employee looting, if they choose to use them.
