[QUOTE="John Mastrocco, post: 545279, member: 54595"] Big business does all that Q. They also: a. lay off huge numbers of people to make the next quarter's profits attractive. (IBM anyone?) b. they award huge bonuses to the guys in the ivory towers and give nothing to the real workers down in the trenches. (American Airlines anyone?) c. "pay off" government officials with massive campaign contributions to get their special interest legislation passed. (Just about all of them anyone?) d. lie cheat and steal as much as they can get away with (Enron anyone? And there are plenty more examples.) It's a two edged sword and all I would like to see happen is the bad edge be observed to make sure it doesn't get too out of hand. Leave the good edge alone, but be wary of the bad one. [/QUOTE]
