Right, because it's the poor poor companies who are being abused and targeted. Oh will you just think of the companies! Companies are people too! What would we do without our exalted job creators?

Companies which abuse the public trust so severely and unethically should be forced to shape up or fined into the ground.

So when the EU does it, it's protectionism.

But we get to "protect our companies" as a matter of policy.

Cool.

We should protect our citizens, which is sometimes achieved by helping companies and sometimes achieved by harming them.
