You have a very pollyanna view of the world. There is no corporate greed, companies always do whats best for the worker and the environment. 
Yep enron was really looking out for the employees. So was worldcom.
The sad part is, my retired parents who were working stiff all their lives, have to pay horrendous electric bills. You know why? Because even though Enron is out of business, the state of Oregon is on the hook to pay the rest of the contract they signed. Economy 101 for all the little brains. That means they are paying for electricity they aren't getting from Enron, plus the electricity they are getting from another company. Damn we have one fine gov. now. God bless GWB and all his big business buddies. |
do you really believe this? you think companies only make profits for their investors? I live right next to Microsoft and their success is the cause of 40,000 jobs locally who work directly for microsoft and probably another 50,000-100,000 outside. are you so shortsighted and ignorant with your quasi-communist ideas that you have no idea how that effects an economy? do you have any idea how much money 40,000 high paying jobs pumps into the economy? do you not understand how many other jobs are created outside of microsoft as a result?
here is a newsflash for you. while you are busy ranting about big, evil companies who exploit the people... remember that poor people do not create jobs. poor people do not make a significant contribution to the tax base of the country. poor people just complain about rich people to excuse the fact that they are poor. the USA is home to most of the largest companies on the planet. they were created by vision, great and consisten execution and by phenominal leadership. do you really believe that the average schmuck running a forklift is a necessary component to a great companies success? sorry. its a nice idea... and no doubt, most of them believe it. but that guy can be replaced by a monkey.
your ranting comes straight from Marxist ideas that have been proven wrong time and time again.
