Profits ahead of patriotism?

I have been deeply concerned by the role of American business leaders in the election. We have seen how business leaders are attempting to influence the vote by their major funding of super-PACs. The Supreme Court has apparently ruled that this is legal, but is it ethical? We have also heard that some American companies have been sitting on mounds of cash waiting until there would be a change of administrations to invest in America. The thinking was that a Mitt Romney administration would bring about fewer regulations and a more favorable tax environment for big business.
