REASON-you did not go after OR WORK your way up to that position. THE FACT IS YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED FOR THE POSITION. Or at least no one knew your wanted the position or had a reason to place their faith in you increasing the profitably of the corporation. YOUR SOCIALIST VIEWS PROVES YOU ARE UNQUALIFIED TO RUN A MAJOR CORPORATION.
Not only that, YOU are invested in the evil corporations that your criticize. If, you have a pension. If, you have an annuity. If, you have retirement funds-THEY ARE ALL INVESTED IN WHAT YOU SEE AS EVIL.

Just for the record, I do not consider free enterprise and capitalism to be evil. You are right, I've invested in many of them, and my return might have been greater but for the exorbitant salaries and bonuses paid to corporate leadership, and the lucrative stock buy back schemes of CEOs to enhance the value of their own stock at the detriment of dividends.
True enough, I've never been a CEO, though much to your surprise, I have worked many years in the private sector. So I'll plead guilty that I'm not qualified to run a major corporation. Those facts put me squarely in the vast majority of American citizens. I'm happy enough there, thank you very much.
As for democratic socialism as practiced in America, I can see you want nothing to do with that, so please stay off our roads and bridges, do not call our police, fire department, or EMS, don't expect our military to protect you if we are invaded, don't take your Social Security check, refuse Medicare, don't send your children to public school and universities, snowplow your own road to your own house, bury your own garbage in your back yard, keep out of the public library, put up your own streetlights, just to name a few. And by all means, don't vote. Thanks. That should relieve your conscience about being a socialist.
