institutionalized corruption
Corporations that fudged numbers, rating agencies that reversed engineered credit ratings, and S. E. C. members watching porn all day (with quarter million salaries); that conspired to rip-off IRAs and the retirement savings of an entire generation (sheep) and redistributed it with the help of young/fast cyber scammers--and got away with the GNP for the next ten generations, funny, huh; oh well, just print more worthless dollars.
Institutionalized corruption pays better than the mafia, and much better than the drug cartels.
