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.
There seems to be a lot of misconceptions as to why there is a disparity between the poor and the rich. Those that point to the greed of Wall Street types have forgotten that they are likely painted by the same brush.

If you have a pension, you are likely in cahoots with those Greedy Wall Street types for it is the shareholders (investors)(pension funds) in companies that push for ever greater and greater short term profits often at the expense of R&D, reinvestment into equipment and increased wages for employees.
