Corporations, Lawyers, and Laws
Lawyers are hired not to protect the corporations and keep it within the law, but rather to know the laws and how to break them without getting caught.
How many executives have gone to prison for destroying people’s lives? People loose their savings and the corporate executives get to keep their huge bonus, their huge homes, and all their goodies. The executives get their pensions while the workers loose most or all of theirs.
Laws are passed to protect the rich and the corporations. Individuals are prosecuted.
Economics
During the 1980s the American auto industry lobbied for restricting Japanese car imports and for Congress to force Japan to open its automobile market to American auto makers. They were successful. Japan open up their markets to imports. Japan voluntarily restricted exports to America. That resulted in higher prices for their cars.
What did the American auto industry do? Rather than making better cars, they just jacked up their prices to match those of the Japanese cars. Japanese autos were exported with fully loaded options the customers wanted.
While the American auto makers were still doing “ordering by a la carte.” A car bought in Florida may not have a heater or defroster. While a car from Michigan may not have air conditioning.
The Japanese cars came fully load with all the options which the consumers wanted.
What about that newly opened Japanese auto market? American auto industry never exported anything. Why? Because the Japanese drive on the right-side of the car, the same as the British do. So all their crying before Congress was for show and political theater. American auto-makers refused to make a product for the Japanese market.
The GOP support large defense budgets. Yet National Security and large national defense budgets are not the same. The GOP don’t care about the people, not those in government or those outside of government. It is not in their DNA. National Security is a sound and effective U.S. Military, but also includes the Border Patrol, FBI, IRS, INS, local police, fire fighters, NSA, CIA and other intelligence organizations.
Since the above have been written we have had Trump elected and his Jan 6, 2021 attack on Congress and the Constitution.
Where are some of the reasons written over 20 years ago. Archived from Center for Cultural Conservation on Free Congress Foundation. It was written by an apogee of Paul Weyrich.

Paul Michael Weyrich (/ˈweɪrɪk/; October 7, 1942 – December 18, 2008)[1][2][3][4] was an American religious conservative political activist and commentator, most notable as a figurehead of the New Right. He co-founded the conservative think tanks The Heritage Foundation,[5] the Free Congress Foundation, and the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). He coined the term "moral majority," the name of the political action group Moral Majority that he co-founded in 1979 with Jerry Falwell.
Trump and the current GOP are not something that happened by accident. It is by Design.
