American business owners greed could finally trigger "The Decline & Fall of the American Empire." Internal corruption resulted in the collapse of the Roman Empire.

There is no question that corruption is the order of the day in Washington.

You have Jim McDermott convicted of violating House Ethics - yet never disciplined. Harry Reid accepting bribes through his son for deaccessioning federal lands to favored developers. Duke Cunningham in prison taking bribes. Jay Rockefeller conspiring to use the Intelligence COmmittee for partisan purposes and leaking sensitive intelligence data to the press. Cynthia McKinney physically assaulting Police under Grand Jury investigation. Patrick Kennedy drinking drugging and driving escorted home so he could avoid a DUI and making it through his forty seventh round of rehab in three weeks. William Jefferson on his way to prison for accepting bribes.

etc.
