It's a problem of definitions. When you kill hundreds or thousands of people indirectly, as in you do not literally pull the trigger, that is not murder. But if you shoot one person, that is murder.

I've seen people advocate the death penalty for much, much less. If anyone stopped and did the math on how many people this CEO has killed, undoubtedly he would never see the sun again.

However, our system is specifically designed to maximize personal liability while minimizing collective liability. So, one is murder, and the other is good business. Whether or not this particular propaganda has seeped into an American mind depends on the person.
