Sure, but write a bad check or mess up your cash flow such that you fail to meet some court-ordered financial obligation and watch how much finger-wagging accountability and social opprobrium rains down upon you. You can get in much worse trouble for some transgression involving a thousand dollars than a million or billion.

There's a guy in the US Senate who used to be CEO of a healthcare company until he was forced out by the board, and the company had to pay out billions in settlements and fines for defrauding medicare. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Scott#Columbia/HCA

I agree with you that many in legislative and executive positions are negligent and or corrupt, but let's not pretend that the private sector doesn't aggressively lobby for its own financial interests or that it is populated by angels brought down by wicked politicians.
