I have worked with the oil companies and it is my impression that their greed is chump change compared to congressional greed.

I certainly don't think oil companies are the only greedy ones. I thought it went without saying that congress was motivated by greed as well if they are allowing those practices. Let me rephrase my question:
Rougly how much of the export is a direct result of human greed and how much of it is a result of necessity or humanitarian effort?
To me, that question is very central to this discussion, but I honestly don't know the answer or even have a clue how to find out that type of information.
