Because the law doesn't say they have to. That's enough for me.
I'm a left-wing, pro-high-tax guy, but I can never understand people who get angry at corporations for obeying the law. Besides being nonsensical, it's actively counter-productive. So long as people are focusing their attention on the corporations, nobody is pressuring the politicians to fix the actual problem.
- venomsnake 13y agoThat will be true if corporations were forbade to enter the political debate at all. But a corporation obeying a law they helped draft, lobbied for, water down, or prevented from changing is somewhat different in my opinion.
