Ah yes... the good ol' American "kick-back". That, and "No-show" jobs are what makes America great!.

I'm thinkin' it pro'ly goes back to the Romans and the Triumvirate

So... we should thank Cesare Augustus for our frequent flyer miles and modern accounting schemes that allow a company to report revenues from the full price of a product in one quarter, and then write down the cost of the "rebate" in the next.
