"The middle class and working poor are told that what's happening to them is the consequence of Adam Smith's 'Invisible Hand.' This is a lie. What's happening to them is the direct consequence of corporate activism, intellectual propaganda, the rise of a religious orthodoxy that in its hunger for government subsidies has made an idol of power, and a string of political decisions favoring the powerful and the privileged who bought the political system right out from under us." -- Bill Moyers, Keynote speech, June 3, 2004"

release the floodgates

So they leaked news of the investigation to make sure that everybody clammed up and shredded everything."
