It's theater. The Democrats, especially, are big on this style of theater to make people believe they really want to crack down on big business. They'll hold a committee meeting, pull Zuck in and tease him a bit, shake their fingers menacingly, then go have champagne and caviar with him afterwards and laugh about the gullible suckers that voted them in.
Not that the Republicans are above doing the same type of thing. Just, at the moment, the Republicans have stopped even trying to put on the theater of caring about the people. They're just straight up telling people money is more important, and the more money you have the more important you are. Nothing else matters.
take this less as a compliment and more as a critique of slashdot comment quality, but this might be the best non-AC comment I've ever read here.
