VETTING THE GREED AMONG AMERICA’S WEALTHIEST CEO’S
This is a short, quick vetting of America... and perhaps the world.
A story like this one is the driving force that has plowed the American elite forward for two hundred years. The wealthy CEO class at the top of business demonically crave more wealth, even at the expense of driving their work force so hard that they fall into early death. It is amazing, this concept, of the arrogance of the super rich to lord over the rest of America even though they know that we loath them and their opulence and greed!
It is time for the 98% of the population to awaken from this Sleeping Beauty under glass obliviousness that we all live in when it comes to the top few Americans, and their families and cohorts, who spit on us every day with their contemptuous attitudes directed toward what more life and money they can squeeze out of us, even though they have more money than they will ever be able to spend.
It is the greedy grabbing of more and more money just for the sake of grabbing more and more money.
And those CEO monsters who collect obscene amounts of money in tax breaks, direct money donations from this federal government or just plain theft of the hard earned money that they should actually be paying their employees who make it possible for a company like Wal-Mart, for example, to make more money in a year than most countries possess in total assets… well, this stuff is just plain wrong
Wake up, people of America. It is time for a little equity in the upper-class over the lower-classes caveat. Aren’t you tired of working yourself to death while the filthy rich owners of these corporations suck you dry… of money and life?
The four owners of Wal-Mart are number 6,7,8 and 9 on the Forbes 400 list, and their company made $6.7 billion in profits in 2011. That money figure does not take into consideration the billions each individual owner, the Walton’s, are worth. They are insanely wealthy… and they don’t give a damn about their work force… starting with the pay!
Anyway, I am digressing! Cringe as you read this article. I think it is high time we reconsider this whole fuck everyone else capitalism American way. Why should 2% of the people in America control the majority of the wealth while the rest of us suffer down here in this fetid soup of man made despair.
All it would take is for the delusional filthy rich to pool together their knowledge, and 5% of their money, and they could lift America out of this funk, shut up the whiners at the bottom and reap the rewards as the country roars back when people start rebuilding their lives.
All I have to say in closing is… thank you again, Mr. George Lucas, for showing us all how that infusion of cash from the filthy rich into the economy could light-up the spirits of Americans and potentially help hundreds of millions of us in need of, say for example, educational boosts. Thanks.
