The War on Business
by William L. Anderson
With the recent guilty plea of former Enron executive Michael Kopper, it
seems that the floodgates are now officially open in the government's
war against American business. Democrats are demanding something just
short of summary executions, while Republicans and President George W.
Bush are trying to outdo the Democrats in their anti-business rhetoric,
and the mainstream news media outlets are playing the role of Joseph
Goebbels in helping to stir the whole pot of hysteria.
>From Ted Rall and the New York Times on the left to Fox News, the
Washington Times, and Robert Novak on the right, people are being told
that U.S. business officers and owners are crooks, charlatans, and
threats to a free and decent society. Of course, the public is
responding predictably, as pollster after pollster reports that
Americans approve of arrests and more arrests of these alleged
miscreants.
