Seriously, no government has any right to stop people with money from taking all the profits they can, any way they can, no matter how dishonestly. Defrauding other people is smart. Lying on loan applications is smart. Lying on your tax forms is smart. Lying to stockholders is smart. Failing to disclose stock trades is smart. Driving companies into bankruptcy is smart. Running up debts you can never repay is smart.

And now destroying our social safety nets, destroying the checks and balances in our triune system of gov't, destroying our alliances and treaty obligations, out trading relationships and networks, is ... well, it's insane, but it's the law now, so it doesn't matter what we say about it. This is what that line of sociopathic business "ethics" has led us to.
