Fox News' sexual harassment corporate culture fits the overall Republican agenda

Since Reagan, the Republican agenda has been that accumulated wealth and power trumps (no pun intended) individual rights, freedoms, and liberties. When you have wealth and power, you can do whatever you want to do to whomever you want to do it to. When you're rich, tax laws don't apply to you, regulations don't apply to you, laws don't apply to you, and you don't have to respect the rights of your fellow man to live in dignity.

Given this, it's no wonder why we have periodic stock market bubbles and collapses. It's no wonder why we have Enron or the housing bubble. The rewards of wealth and power provide a huge incentive to attain it by any means necessary.
