At my last office job, the CEO got a $20 million bonus for the money he saved by firing half the company and outsourcing the jobs to India. What a hero. And they wonder why so many hate them.
That may not be the government's business - but if the C-suite keeps acting that way, they may find themselves being fitted for rope neckties.
This is where I part ways with a lot of conservatives. I don’t trust big business. I have seen to many of them willing to sell out their workers, their company, and America to make a buck.
I know it’s anecdotal evidence but a friend of mine invited me to a luncheon for some local business leaders in our community. He himself is 2nd in charge of a medium size company in the area. I just sat back and listened and the impression that I got from these people is they would be happy with having company towns and company stores again.
But I struggle with what the answer is. I believe that capitalism is the best economic system but it has to have some controls on it.
