Why does everyone say that? Everyone knows there are corrupt Americans. It's a fact. We're well past the fantasy land of universally ethical citizens. The debate isn't whether there are corrupt Americans, the question is who. Mob bosses? Trust-fund baby tax evaders? Wall Street hedge funds? Big-Oil CEOs? Ex-military defense contractors? Politicians? I don't know, but some of them better get jailed to discourage others from gaming the system. And it's entertaining when a big criminal gets caught and punished, especially when the public strongly suspected them but lacked the concrete evidence (like Al Capone).
