Let's see. Davis Besse had to shutdown for a potential 3 Mile Island type problem. So instead, FirstEnergy (the company that created the blackout) donated $450,000 to Bush Cheney and kept the reactor running. When they finally did shut it down for refueling, they found that all 6 feet of carbon steel was gone. So they ran another fund raiser for Bush Cheney - just before they created the blackout..
The Economist magainze recently noted that virutally all big accounting firms (the big five now called the big four) are guility of widespread Arthur Andersen tactics. KPMG literally cooked the books for Xerox so that Xerox would not have to declare bankruptcy (after the president of Xerox personally called the president of KPMG). So where are all the fines and enforcement against any of these companies for fraud? They are all contributing record amounts of cash to the Bush Cheney campaign buckets.
So large are these corporate contributions that every week for months now, the Bush Cheney campign fund has set world records exceeding any previous campaign bribe fund ever. Will my paultry $10,000 check do anything for me? I would just be a piss in their bucket.
Being corrupt AND being the enemy of humanity - see the Cancun talks and the upcoming Western Hemisphere free trade talks as example - is quite profitable. Even Al Capone did not have a racket as big as Bush Cheney. Because Al Capone did not have the FBI director, the Attorney General, the NRC and the SEC on his payroll. Yes there is much tit for tat in Bush Cheney like America has never seen before. Even the crook Nixon was not that brash.
