Google Archer-Daniels Midland and Enron and get back to me

Enron was a great example of how things should work. The guys who did wrong were discovered, tried, and sent to jail. In a Fascistic system with government and business tied into one that would never happen - a corporation might run afoul of the powers that be and be purged - but it would never have to answer for its crimes.

I always have to scratch my head when people use Enron as an example of why politics and business need to be more entangled (then they already are). What, do you not like criminals being punished for their crimes?

If Phil Gramm had not done Enron’s biddding in the first place by getting new commodities exchanges exempted from regulation, the Enron scandal would never have happened in the first place. And although executives went to jail, many, many others lost a ton of money.
