If you steal billions and indirectly end up bankrupting 100's of 1000's of the working class, you are told your company is 'too big to fail' (in a supposed capitalist society) and then given all the monetary aid from government you need to help maintain your position.
As many have said, this cycle cannot last forever. Without actual capitalism, the system that preys on it's own workforce will become one that has no workforce, domestically. The off shoring, the outsourcing, the tax credits, corporate welfare and tax havens make it so the system can last longer...but it will eventually crash...like it did in 2008.
Sadly, in a competitive environment you let companies fail so that new more innovate ones can come along at take its place. NOT SO in America, we gave up capitalism for plutocracy and will pay a supreme price for it one day. Maybe not ME or YOU, but your children or their children will.
