When a rich company approaches or is approached by a congressman and the two strike a deal to line their own pockets at the expense of the American people who is to blame? And who can we prosecute. There are millions of businesses in this country and what was said to whom is very hard to prove. But there are only  a few hundred congressmen and it is much easier and ethical to watch them for criminal acts and to prosecute them (and then the business) for criminal acts rather than to regulate every aspect of business in the country.

When a business commits fraud or other harm by being dishonest, etc then let's prosecute them. But what we cannot do is to legislate or regulate integrity and values - after all we all disagree on just what those values are.

  Our constitution was created for a moral and religious people and can serve no other. What is best for America is for all citizens to be genuine Christians.
  
  But since we can't and should not regulate that the sole purpose of gov is to stop people from violating each others rights.
  
  

I would agree that patriotism is a sound business practice but if a company choses not to be partriotic it would be wrong to regulate it into them.

I doubt there were hardly any who wanted to default. We were never in danger of defaulting. It was always just rhetoric.
