That ' s punching left . There is nothing to my right but a wall . Punching right is when people attack those who are further right than they are . <| sep |> Samsung is alleged to have provided 2 . 8 million euros $ 3 . 1 million to a company coowned by Choi and her daughter to use her influence to gain backing from a state pension fund for the $ 8 billion merger of two Samsung Group affiliates , Samsung CT Corp and Cheil Industries , last year . South Korea ' s National Pension Service NPS , the world ' s thirdlargest pension fund , voted in favor of the merger despite criticism that the deal helped the Samsung Group family to cement control at the expense of other shareholders . No magic , just good oldfashioned corruption . They ' re still allegations at this point , but it won ' t be surprising if they turn out to be true . The Cheil merger was extremely shady and probably would have been illegal in any other G 20 country . There needed to have been plenty of money changing hands between Samsung and the government to let it go down the way it did .
