Perhaps you have a different concept of "goals". Political candidates spew platitudes, but when have you ever heard they cite a specific, measurable goal? The few instances I've heard always specify a timeframe that's conveniently just beyond the next election, e.g. a presidential candidate promising that something will happen in 5 years, so that their next election can't be held up by it.
> execs knowingly abuse the government ... their buddies in government who they paid to have elected
It works both ways. Don't just focus on business, also look at the government officials who are so willing to prostitute themselves.
