The Ferengi!

Surgically altered Ferengi have been infiltrating our government for decades now, and they've succeeded in taking over the country.

A brief and random selection from The Rules of Acquisition:

181.        Not even dishonesty can tarnish the shine of profit.
189.        Let others keep their reputation. You keep their money.
202.        The justification for profit is profit.
211.        Employees are rungs on the ladder of success. Don't hesitate to step on them.
239.        Never be afraid to mislabel a product.
242.        More is good ... all is better.
261.        A wealthy man can afford anything except a conscience.
266.        When in doubt, lie.

Obvious, innit?
