Its the American way, its Reaganomics and the trickle-down effect.
Sure, the court costs become outrageous but the lawyers and judges have to pay tax on that income which the Government gets back and then those lawyers and judges will spend their extra disposable income and inject it right back into the economy.
So really...they should be killing more people in order to stimulate the economy.
