Just as we allow congressmen to lobby once they leave congress. All this abuse and corruption would quickly diminish if they could not profit from their decisions now and in the future. Just look at how congressmen, military brass and their family's have profited from the right legislation or awarding of contracts.

The only way this works is for them all to be holding hands together: Corporations, White House, Congress, Military, Justice, and Media. Didn't Halliburton cease to be a U.S. Corporation after this stuff started hitting the fan? So, they still have the conract but are not subject to U.S. law.
