Exactly. They make these laws because corporations -- those who pay out big lobbying dollars -- want them to make these laws. When others (those who didn't "pay their dues," i.e. bribes) take advantage of these laws then suddenly it's a "loophole." That's complete hypocrisy. If there are loopholes in the law, close them. Problem solved. What's the point of an inquiry? It looks like a hypocritical attempt to keep the loopholes for the select while dunning the corporations for whom they weren't originally designed.
