Corrupt? They all follow the law.

The problem may be the way the laws get enacted. What might be considered very corrupt in one country is just how business is done in the USA.

The definition of corruption is not dependent upon legal status. The wikipedia article on "Corruption" has an entire (and rather long) section that is entitled "Legal corruption".

Found the Comcast shareholder....

They literally lobby to make the laws.

Excuse me, but is it not the lawmakers that are corrupt? They are the ones buying their argument (or taking their cash/benefits) and creating moats (regulatory capture and what not) for them.

Lobbying is legal though, and is a tool used by charities/public interest advocates as well as big corporations.

These things are not mutually exclusive, particularly when the corruption has resulted in changes to the law.
