That's the way it is with Crony Capitalists. The Government provides protection, and the Company kicks a little back in consideration.
Without government protection, the tobacco industry would have been sued out of existence, long ago. We would all be better off if it had been. But, instead, they continue under the Governments protection, and people continue to be injured and killed.
