they happen more in corporations
corporate structure lends its self to that
Profit first means anything goes
no profits are designed for people first
Profits first means a sociopath can run it
people first makes it much harder for a sociopathic type to find success in the endeavor
in fact sociopaths can excel in business
they cant excel in our government
the proof is the republican party
they place money over people
it has rendered them a cheating lying party that cant win without cheating and lying to the people
The voters don't like them
the voters vote them out
SOOOOO they began cheating voters our of their rights to vote so they could win
more and more every election
until they even resorted to getting a foreign enemies help cheating
A greedy person likes money whether it is in the form of profit, charitable contributions, or tax dollars. I bet we can find just as many convictions for fraudulent activity in towns, school districts, state and federal legislatures and bureaucracies as we can corporations.
Your example of the Republican Party makes my point--government is just as bad as private industry; yet, there is no "profit" involved, only your tax dollars. You just forgot to include the Democrats.
