I find it disgusting that the wall street types and corporate big shots make so much money at the EXPENSE of their loyal and dedicated workers that can't do better because of the "market" artificially created by corporate greed. AND WALL STREET GROWS TO RECORD NUMBERS while the workers are doing less than they did in the 1960's. How sad and disgusting the greed is in this country now.

This is the first time in my life I have heard big business referred to in such a way. My husband worked for one of the ten largest corporations in the world at one time for 52 years and climbed the ranks. He worked hard for them and they rewarded him with good benefits and a decent salary and some mighty nice perks over time. He started in a lowly positon breaking down big shipping boxes in the union and climbed to a position that he enjoyed and that he did a great job in.
I never thought of them as greedy. I am astonished to move here and run into this attitude and generally it is from people who have not worked in a business for profit situation all of their life. They may have worked for the government or in academia.
It is just how business works and it isn't that some fat cats are making a killing. If the company is in a for profit situation and is making a good margin, they can and do hire more people, give them benefits and a chance at a good life like we have had.
There are unethical and underhanded people in all walks of life. I have never run into this bias before.
