If your politicians are so goddamned corrupt or stupid that they give companies tax money with no contract stipulating what they do with it, and then say nothing when the companies ignore their expectations, maybe you should blame the politicians.

Yeah... you might have noticed we can blaim them for lots of things now. The fact that we still give tax breaks to oil companies(So they can invest in renewable energy! Except we give them a 2 billion dollar break and they invest 100million, 1.99 billion profit!)

The fact is the corperate interests control Washington and have for years now. You might be able to find me fifty Representatives and as many as twelve senators who are good honest people, but they can't stop the massive loophole writing over 90%
