It's increasingly paying companies to invest more resources, currying favor with government officials rather than investing those resources in real productivity.

This is very true. The return on investment in a Congressman or Senator is upward of 100,000% to a business. This is why McStain/Fienscold will never work. You can’t over come that kind of incentive.

Its just like trying to stop drug trafficking, the lure of huge profits is just to great. The money will find a way to the politician.

Help America grow; invest in a congressman!

Political influence is the 'gold standard' of the American socialist economy.

Oops! We can't call it 'socialist'; call it 'progressive'.
