Basically its like this "GREED" makes the world go round.
The basic component to capitalisum.
Without it business wouldnt exist and no one would care if they made any money at all.
We would each tend our own garden as Voltaire expoused.
The corruption of the company you mentioned is no different than the oil companies claiming they are on the verge of collapse if they dont raise prices and then reporting record profits; or countless other corperations to numerous to mention.
Individual greed is a great movivator, those ceo's probabely all have so much dirt on each other and thier constituents, even in the governement, and not just in america mind you its a world wide problem becuase many of these companies know no boundaries or are incorperated into mega conglomerates and have very lucrative deals with the governments where thier factories and chain stores what have you reside.
Unofficially the big mega corpurations all ready in so many ways "run the world". Weather by design or not.
The little people (us) find this to be disparaging and we individually squeak out against it, some politicians show an intrest in stopping such practices, alltough it will remain to be seen weather or not its just another ploictical ploy to get votes or ,if genuine able to be accomplished.
And all people have proven to many times thoughout history to stomach well all manner of coruption, hipocracy, and oppression, so long as it doesnt effect our "bread and circusis".
When it does, when we the mob have to be troubled out of nessesity becuase our own individual dailey lives are involved, then and only then does our squeak gain the numbers and momentum to become a roar.
