Honestly, because of the corporate veil.

Absolutely nothing changes until the individual swine responsible for big crimes are put in jail. And they really don't want to go to jail. That's when the war starts for real.

Pretty much all of history is the story of societies occasionally deciding that everything around them is bullshit and start dispensing justice themselves. Then there are social wars, a lot of people die, and a new mafia comes to power with more smiley words.

I understand how frustrating it is, but I think you already know the answer to the question you posit. Are you looking for validation or feedback, because the answer is clear.

Two words; pay offs. You have to be able and willing to grease the right palms.

Because it's not millions. It's billions.
