    What I like most about Dr. West that he did not lose his self motivation and enthusiasm of all social and political issues in US of A and still pushing so many young generations to be with him on the same train after all of these years.

    When I was younger I believed what you are saying. I do agree when it was about non violent unity he was not a real threat and had support of the government, although he was being monitored by the feds, and when he spoke out against the Vietnam war, poverty and working conditions they took him out due to him being too powerful a leader to be out of pocket. But I wouldn't compare him to the "hope sellers" of today because he spoke out against injustice no matter despite political ramifications.

    He wouldn't be out of a job at all. He teaches at Princeton and I doubt there are many (if any) poor amongst the students there. So he's doing this so more poor people will have the opportunity to send their children to institutions such as the one he teaches in. So the poor people in the street can be rich in the classroom. If there were no poor, then he would be a professor quietly collecting his salary.

    Too Big to Jail: How Prosecutors Compromise with Corporations Hardcover - November 3, 2014
    by Brandon L. Garrett (Author)
    American courts routinely hand down harsh sentences to individual convicts, but a very different standard of justice applies to corporations. Too Big to Jail takes readers into a complex, compromised world of backroom deals, for an unprecedented look at what happens when criminal charges are brought against a major company in the United States.
    Federal prosecutors benefit from expansive statutes that allow an entire firm to be held liable for a crime by a single employee. But when prosecutors target the Goliaths of the corporate world, they find themselves at a huge disadvantage. The government that bailed out corporations considered too economically important to fail also negotiates settlements permitting giant firms to avoid the consequences of criminal convictions. Presenting detailed data from more than a decade of federal cases, Brandon Garrett reveals a pattern of negotiation and settlement in which prosecutors demand admissions of wrongdoing, impose penalties, and require structural reforms. However, those reforms are usually vaguely defined. Many companies pay no criminal fine, and even the biggest blockbuster payments are often greatly reduced. While companies must cooperate in the investigations, high-level employees tend to get off scot-free.
    The practical reality is that when prosecutors face Hydra-headed corporate defendants prepared to spend hundreds of millions on lawyers, such agreements may be the only way to get any result at all. Too Big to Jail describes concrete ways to improve corporate law enforcement by insisting on more stringent prosecution agreements, ongoing judicial review, and greater transparency.
