Adelson’s Ethics
The Jewish Daily Forward’s editors discuss the ethical position of Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate who financially supports Mitt Romney. Adelson and his company are under investigation of “allegations of foreign bribery” and are “virulently against unions and organized labor.” The editors ask, “How can we reconcile the values of a participatory democracy with an election system that grants such an obscene amount of power to the very rich, no matter how their money was made?”
