There's very little difference between corporations and government these days. So it doesn't really matter what we call the people stealing from the citizenry. Corporations shower politicians with gifts, jobs and campaign contributions, which in most other countries would just be called bribery. The purpose of this from the corporation's viewpoint is to align the interest of the politician to that of the corporation. And once their interests are aligned they operate in concert. So as this process accelerates the border between government and corporation becomes less and less clear.
