We've all heard the worn-out jokes about lawyers coming from comedians and politicians, and even our friends.

In fact, they're focused and developed as a highly financed, well-coordinated, decades-long smear campaign carried out by business interest groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the world's biggest insurance corporations.
