Nobody wishes to underestimate this disaster, or thinks that BP should not be made to pay, but that payment should be proportionate to its culpability.
Nobody wishes to underestimate this disaster, or thinks that BP should not be made to pay, but that payment should be proportionate to its culpability. BP is not a demonic figure in a morality play, it is the sort of organization on which the wealth of the West is built. Unfortunately, politicians — and leftist/authoritarian politicians in particular — like to portray corporations as dangerous exploiters that must constantly be brought to heel. Perhaps the real reason is that they realize that it is only through such entities that jobs and wealth are created. Politicians resent that fact, which makes them all the more eager to press boots to corporate necks, kick ass, or manipulate the mechanism of ducking stools.
