Corporations and corruption. The two are synonymous.

There's so many major corporations ripping Americans off everyday I don't know where to start. Well...yes, I do. Here's today's example:
Indictment: Military Boots Made In China said 'Made In The USA'
Ever since I tied up my first pair of jungle boots in Vietnam the Chinese have been making them for us. The irony doesn't escape me.
While the Chinese were providing arms and money to the North Vietnamese they also had a lucrative business arrangement with an American company to make combat boots on the sly - and just to rub salt in the wound - they were putting Made In The USA patches on them!
What do you think is going to happen to the five people involved with this scheme? They're all out on a 20,000 bail right now.
If past examples of corporate heads are anything to go by...not one of the bastards will go to prison - and, if they do, it'll be a crazy lenient sentence.
