use lobbyists. throw lots of soft money at politics. hold bazillions off shore so they can avoid as many taxes as possible. become patent trolls. buy back their own stock so they make themselves rich while screwing ordinary investors and employees and companies.  pay less in taxes than their secretaries. Colluding into oligopolies and monopolies so that can extract monopoly profits. stop spending in a recession then complaining because the government does. not training employees and cutting benefits.
