The Koch Brothers are Acting Just Like Enron---Before the Bankruptcy

[JackRiddler]

16. Again, there is no moral distinction to be made, both are examples of the same phenomenon...

The neoliberal principles at work, allowing money as speech and the primacy of capital over any morality.

The Kochs have wrought enormous destruction since the 1970s. There is no reason to downplay the significance of what they have done and what they still do. So I don't.

Enron meanwhile was central in bringing the Bush regime to power and thus suspending whatever was left of democracy and the rule of law in this country, in addition to practicing many other innovative business frauds that have served as the model for a whole economy of plunder.

There is absolutely no need to make a moral distinction between these two entities. Yet you seem to want to trivialize Enron's enormous crimes. Why? Could it be that the Kochs are more easily characterized as right wing, while Enron is more obviously business as usual for capitalism under the neoliberal principles?

I refer readers back to my earlier post.
