No laws against it, why do you hate capitalism?


Erm... Sweetheart deals at the taxpayer's expense to a foreign government, followed by "speaking fees" paid out by agents of that foreign government are not "capitalism". That's officials from two governments working together to launder money. If corporations do the exact same thing, utilizing the payrolls of their employees, the CEOs go to jail. :)

Politicians made the rules, they leave enough leeway to do some profiteering.
The free market doing what free markets do.

That's not the "free market". That's the GOVERNMENT doing what they can GET AWAY WITH because they have the SOLE AUTHORITY to utilize deadly force.

Your arguments get weaker and weaker. You can't blame the FREE MARKET for the actions of AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENT.

FFS Matt. You're better than this.

In a truly free market there would be no regulation and they would be able to get away with much more.
Luckily most people know a free market is horrifying so its prevented and politicians have to make do with loopholes.

In a truly free market, they wouldn't be able to tax you, and therefore government officials using their monopoly on force to steal your income to provide to a different government and then get a portion of it back after office wouldn't be possible.

NOT capitalism. You don't even know what you're talking about.

No. It's not even crony capitalism. It's one government stealing the money of it's citizens, transferring it to a different government, and when the officials of the first government get out of office, they get a portion of the money they paid back. That's how authoritarians, socialists, and fascists launder money. There's no capitalism whatsoever. It's simply authoritarian gain off taxed wealth. Nothing more, nothing less. You don't even know what capitalism IS. Government officials are not "Private owners". The fact that the government is stealing from private owners, laundering through other governments, then taking back for themselves is FASCISM.
