>Here in America we've made our decision - profit rules above all else. It is more profitable to lobby congress than it is to upgrade a refinery, it's more profitable to auto-deny every health insurance claim than it is to provide the services your customers think they're paying for, it's more profitable to avoid taxes than not (as long as you can avoid breaking the law TOO hard). This is not the decision "we've made in America". What you're describing is the behavior of some giant companies. There are millions of small to medium sized businesses that operate within the rules just fine and don't use the "corrupt the politicians" move as part of their business strategy.
