Well, I think business is seen as honorable. Whenever there's compensation, it's fair. Like, that's how we justified conquering all of Mexico and shit, was that we "paid them". Whereas politics is skeezy and involves moral compromises, the kind that might doom you to eternal hellfire (deal with the devil, as opposed to deal with the guy down the street for spare parts)... not monetary compensation.
