I actually agree with you. But, take a step back and join me in my utopia dreamland, where politicians are accountable to their constituents. I think in that world, governments absolutely have a responsibility to pass legislation that benefits everyone in the long-term, but just corporations.
I'm not suggesting that we as individuals and certainly not corporations are absolved of responsibility, but I am saying that just like tax loopholes, while there's room for people to not do the right thing, they absolutely will go for the cheapest wrong thing they can find.
