This is a reminder of the cold-blooded greed that permeates the stock markets and the corporate board rooms. They are rewarded by politicians for crimes against the people/workers/voters. We must not forget that most politicians are/were business executives and that they are looking out for their own futures. We have to remember that so many politicians leave office and become lobbyists or high officials in huge corporations. Of course they are going to be tempted to get in bed with the likes of the Koch brothers. Until we first dissolve the lobbying industry, then regulate campaign finance and other financial contributions to government (in fact, we should eliminate financial contributions to government altogether), install policies regulating the bonuses of corporate executives, and finally, install REAL penalties for corporate crime, this will continue to haunt us. Until we do these things, corporations will continue to abuse our government, abuse our financial institutions and abuse us.
