Sadly, after Enron, WorldCom, et al, you would think corporate America would catch on, but greed at the highest levels is so strongly instilled that nothing will ever change unless actuall legilastion is passed to provide severe punishment to these people.

Miliken is a great example. Hell, I'd do the jail time he did if I could pocket the money that he did from all the scams he pulled. The fines he paid were a pitance compared to the money he made.

To quote George Carlin, the death penalty is given to the wrong criminals. Murder is generally a crime of passion and the death penalty is not at the top of their thought list when they committ the crime. But, still killing off a few of these white collar bastards for stealing money from the common folk and you'll see a quick change in the way business is done in America.
