If you are a pro-neoliberal capitalist political party, then clearly it is a good thing to accept money from wealthy corporations and people, as wealth marks virtue. You are doing good by accepting money from good people, and working to implement their good ideas. Everyone will benefit.
It is logical to assume that organisations which largely represent non-wealthy people (like unions) are evil. They should be attacked because they are inherently evil to begin with and are probably envious of your virtue (like Satan). Any activity which opposes the virtue of wealth should be opposed and stopped. Any media which suggests that wealthy people are not virtuous is clearly immoral and ignorant. It should be shut down, or someone worthy like Mr. Murdoch should be encouraged to take it over. Free Speech means agreeing with neoliberalism or its culture war positions, everything else is blasphemy.
Wealthy people drive the economy and create jobs, this is good. The fact that most people cannot be self-supporting without a job is the fault of those people themselves. If they were virtuous they would not need jobs. Jobs are a gift from their superiors.
If people object to this position, neoliberals can proudly say “The profits of industries are owned by the people as shareholders and as members of pension funds. Everybody benefits from the set up.”
Neoliberals can ignore the obvious problem that most people do not own many shares as such people can’t afford to risk it, and ordinary people have little to no control at all over what their pension fund does with their money, how it is distributed, and what it supports. But these ordinary people are ignorant of what is good to begin with. That most of the benefit of share-holding goes to relatively wealthy people is good. It is crazy to even suggest that wealth creation is driven by everyone who participates in the society including workers in unions and people who work without pay.
Some companies can create wealth by destroying wealth and amenities for others, or through dumping pollution of production upon people, and this is right because if the people being dumped on were virtuous they would have the money to oppose the dumping in court. Developers, miners, roadbuilders are reasonable examples of such destructive companies. It is particularly good for such companies to be associated with a party which might attain government. The government can then support those company’s dispossession of others or general destruction. That the government can be seen to lose its position of neutrality and of governing for us all is irrelevant as the government is governing for the best people, and as most people can be distracted through culture wars and be persuaded to vote for racist or local issue groups which will support neoliberalism and established power in the long run.
That the tax laws enable wealthy people to avoid tax is good design, and that corporations take the money they earn inside a country, from exploiting its minerals or soil, outside that country is also good as neoliberals don’t want to support the lazy and bad ordinary people.
This is what neoliberals mean by free market. Regulation of markets and life to benefit those who are already wealthy and good, and prevent others from protesting or prevent the subsidizing of those who are poor and evil.
The whole system is backed by God, and one of the problems in modern society is the decline of that belief. Morality is in crisis and we need to attack someone to prove our virtue and make our way to the promised land.
