There are people at all levels of society who's agenda is "make them selves as rich as possible" from drug dealers and pimps to restaurant owners, car dealers, realtors, lawyers, doctors, you name it. Nothing special about corporate executives.

The scale of their power is what makes them special. Tell me, when was the last time you made a decision than tanked an entire regional economy, or perhaps ruined the finances of a thousand families while lining your pockets? When was the last time you decided to simply ignore the law and then had the government come to you shaking how to change it to make you legal again? When was the last time you had law changed for your personal benefit? I don't think you can.

That's what makes it different.

Exactly. I saw such things with my own eyes.
