But that only points to the corruption we see in our capitalism...and it is inevitable in a system that thinks that greed is good. and that greed is the only motivating factor in progress.

The side effects of such values is that the greedy do well and when they get power they control the market...and we have seen this play out in history over and over again.
We are at the point now where the greedy have amassed such wealth that they own and control the functions of government...whether it is the FDA or the EPA or the MIC they can call the shots.
