I think the lawmakers know this already and like it that way. Maybe the large companies will someday realize this is a negative-sum game and put a stop to it.

  Why do you think politicians like it the way it is? They don't win anything. I think the don't understand what going on.

    They understand how lucrative it is for lawyers. Check what they were doing prior to being politicians.

      Yes I know that alot of them are/were lawyers (and thats a problem) but then they fall into the lawyer category. More of them where not lawyers, im still holing on to my knowledge argument.

    Most politicians start out as lawyers.

      As far as I know, that's an Americanism. I don't know of any other country that concentrates so many legal professionals in their political system.

        Most other countries also don't have nearly as many lawyers per capita as the US.

          The UK does.

        It may be a Western-ism for sure but I (a Brit) was thinking mostly about the UK when I wrote it.
