Do the words "conflict of interest" mean *anything* to you?
When the people changing the laws are in bed with the people who
directly benefit from those changes, that's wrong. This is bribery
taken to another level: you don't have to actually pay off someone,
because they're already on your side, and are tilting the playing
field to favor you.
Imagine a football game in which not only the referees, but the
league commissioner were all, say, ex-Dallas Cowboys players, and
still had ties to the Cowboys organization. The Cowboys then win year
after year, after rules are changed to favor them and restrict other
teams. Would you consider this ethical? Or even criminal?
