"I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." Nelson Mandela @ trial in 1964. RIP

BP's president didn't slip up calling Gulf Coast residents "small people." That's how corporatists see working class people, which is why risks are taken.
Isn't that attitude, that economic populism, very much the same way the Tea Party folks view the Obama Administration, but more from a sense of educational or class populism?
Not all corporations behave that way and even within corporations there is seldom a true 'culture of corruption'. BP is an enormous company and I seriously doubt every decision maker uses terms like 'small people'.
