Because "they" -- US big biz -- are dominated by plutocratic banksters, who got somewhere between $1-$3 trillion (yes, trillion with a "t") in Federal Reserve subsidies, loans, bailouts, covert support, and other financial shenanigans. And don't get me started on the military-industrial complex, the pharma-insco complex, and the numerous other plutocratic scams destroying what used to be a First World economy.
Why invest to get billions when you can steal trillions?
