The Enron documentary really showed how power and money can be the root of all evil. It led the fortune 500 company to end lives, jobs, created lies, and hurt our society as a whole. It was a company that only took money and kept it in their own pockets, really believing that they were not touchable. They had more worries about what their private corporate jet should be instead of what the numbers and stock really is. Since it’s the same stocks people are buying and raising prices on, leading to increases on the public. Enron became founded by Kenneth Lay who had his own schemes before Jeffrey Skilling. Enron in summary sold whatever they could to the public, making sure that they would never take a loss in the market.

G.W.B Jr was even of help to Enron since he had his “Kenny boy”, and Enron had connections with the electrical company of the United States of America that distributed it. All these connections led to powerful, rich upper-class men, which helped each other and kept the power within their group of people. Each has this identity because of where they stand in society, the power each man had and the luxuries they got to enjoy. Each enjoyed living in large homes, buying huge lands, traveling and living new lives with their wealth. Even after trail in a review of today, these same men still maintain themselves as upper-class due to the fact of the money they have. To their employees and our society,
