Everyone understandably, are focused on the 5% of the population the US that has all the money, and the big corporations that are sucking up dry the income of many citizens.
We are not the richest country in the world, never have been. Yet we have the richest and most corrupt corporations. But how did it get to this point?
Well, we need to wonder what happened to our antitrust laws. They were supposed to have the function of preventing corporations from mega-mergers, hedge funds, excessive stock trade and excessive bankruptcy protection. But over the years, money-hungry lawyers (on behalf of their clients) have found ways of working around the loopholes of laws and thus, anti-trust laws have eventually been rendered useless.
Unfortunately, the situation with our now defunct antitrust laws is just an example of what has happened to other laws that were originally written to enforce good business conduct and structure for a well-operating
society, yet they have also been succeeded by
businesses finding legal loopholes. As time went on, “band-aid” amendments and articles have been devised to try to remedy the problems that arose from the insubordination and disorder of people not wanting to follow good law standards. This is why we had
needed a good system of anti-trust and jurisprudence to protect our system.
Corrupt business is no accident and is the main result of the race to see who can screw others over first. The saying” I’m not doing anything wrong If I don’t get caught.” says it all. Most people don’t intend to do honest business in America and don’t handle money as a tool but more to a key to excess, as in how the big
corporations show.
