If corporations are people - Bain Capital is Dexter Morgan. Initech Jul 2012 #4

Dexter at least has a moral code. Fantastic Anarchist Jul 2012 #5

Actually Mitt is more like the Joker from The Dark Knight Initech Jul 2012 #6

True - Dexter at least had a moral code. The Joker had no code, no rules and profited handsomely off the destruction and suffering of others.

Although, I did have a problem with the movie's theme that anarchy equates to chaos. Which is quite untrue. The Joker would most aptly be called a nihilist.
