too bad. no recourse. that couldn t happen here in the u.s. because we have respect for contracts, courts, laws. if that goes, then so does our economy. the foreign corrupt practices act which walmart is accused of violating mainly aims to ensure that our strong culture of laws and ethics travels with americans doing business overseas. it s an important part of what makes doing business it in the united states different and better. which brings me to the next thing wrong with this picture. the u.s. chamber of commerce has been lobbying to water down the foreign corrupt practices act. it seems that they think the law is bad for american business. i guess because, hey, if other countries have corruption problems, why should we be so morally pure when go business over there? oh, chamber. have you so lost your way that you you forget how important the american legal and ethical business culture is to our
