We're lucky that those evil businessmen line up to fill the pockets of the various nice politicians with tens of millions of dollars of, ahem, speaking fees and what-not - the politicians surely deserve it, with their "tough job" and all. As to favors given to businessmen in return for the money at taxpayers' expense - we can't really blame politicians for that, since being the nice people that they are, they just act on their nature of doing good!
