Given the right incentives from corporations I am sure politicians will make what Jones is doing standard operating procedure. The same way politicians are making harder and harder to sue corporations and expanding the ways they can avoid taxation.

Florida's Republicans are being confronted with constituent anger over escalating home insurance costs. Their solution? Limit insurers liabilities, shield insurers from civil litigation to enforce the contracts made with home owners, and increasing deductibles and copays for more expensive repairs. Similar to their agenda to limit medical malpractice liability as a sure way to lower consumer costs of health care. Yet another kind of "trickle down" economics.

The same happened with the Bankruptcy Code "reforms" years ago. Most of the changes favored large banks.
