1. The problem is there are no American corporations anymore..
except when they need the US to defend their assets, start a war so that they can plunder other countries, or need to be bailed out. The rest of the time they are from the Bahamas, which isn't likely to support this legislation.

Seriously, I think multi-nationa mega-corporations are the new colonial powers, but unlike nations they have no homeland to which they have any loyalty. They will plunder communities anywhere in the world and then leave a mess for locals to clean up. They operate the same in the US as anywhere else, except, perhaps that they don't need private militias here.
