if i remember correctly, this was posted in response to the news story about it taking Haliburton 23 seconds to make the fine they had to pay in regards to their fracking contamination. Which is far more horrific than you might expect.
Of course, we owe it to our corporations to lobby away all regulations, export all jobs to cheaper labor countries, eliminate the minimum wage. To pollute freely, openly and everywhere without guilt or consequences. To gamble the life savings of the nation and world on risk laden get rich quick schemes. To lobby for war so our MIC clients burn through stored inventory. To dictate foreign policy that puts their interests first over the well being and safety of the population who have to fight those wars. We owe them blind allegiance even though they claim to owe us nothing to the point of paying zero or next to zero in taxes. We are told to believe that multinational corporations are American just because they say they are while they headquarter in tax haven nations. We should expect them to self regulate the chemicals they put in food and believe that they hold our best interests at heart while headlines scream environmental devastation and companies destroyed evidence of their negligence. We are to believe that the great American ideal is the idolatry of those that made it big by ripping off the planet are good and noble while people working 2 jobs to make ends meet are freeloaders and we have to divert the nest egg safety network of all American workers into Wall Street casino chips and if they lose they still reap rich rewards but we are expected to bail them out. Who will cry for the mega wealthy and the struggles they go through daily, devising new and complex ways of draining us of our labor and assets. It's hard to be rich with a straight face so lobbyists have to do the lying for them, write the bills for them and pay off congress to pass those bills.
 
I can think of nothing that disappoints me more than Politics. It is truly the devil's work.
 
No surprise there...
