"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

It may be obvious to you but I doubt you are going to get many to agree with your thinking.

The architect and contractor would be a fault for the building and the CEO and Directors would be at fault for the actions of the company.

A faulty analogy doesn't cut it. Your building analogy would only have some similarity if it had to be inspected but your stock doesn't trade without being fully reporting because of the SEC. Again, talk to your Congressman - he makes the laws.
