Capitalism without Ethics or Morality

Unemployment will tip 9% in the coming month on its way to 12% by summers end. But not to worry… Corporate executives and their upper management teams will continue to reap their bountiful rewards. Like ravaged dogs on a raw and juicy dying carcass. They feast for themselves with eyes far larger than their stomachs could ever be. They defend their greedy actions with arrogant disdain for any that might contest. Filled with pride for their own self-worth they growl, scoff and fill their chests with hot air. All designed to impress and intimidate the meager masses that simply long for a small, fair and appropriate morsel from the feast. Those unworthy and insignificant underlings, the minions that do all of that day to day little work.
We are they that believe in Capitalism and live in the hopes that we can achieve for ourselves a fair and worthy piece of the pie. To enjoy life with family and friends and to live comfortably and without want. To not wonder and stress over where we shall obtain the means to pay for our food, clothing, home, health care and the education of our children. To this end we have faithfully worked for, defended and trusted in this great democracy and capitalism itself. We have watched as morality, ethics, dignity, fairness and compassion have been attacked and trampled into the concrete jungle of Wall Street and Washington. The very values, beliefs and highly respected attributes of mankind that created this great country have all but vanished in “prime-time” and especially in corporate America. Where today’s executives think of themselves as super stars (like all the over paid and pampered Hollywood movie stars or “Professional” Athletes) and desperately seek to enrich themselves as such. To that end they have stolen away America and infected it’s Capitalism with the deadly virus called “GREED”. They have brought this country to its knees at the expense of the tax payer and the have crushed the American dream forever.
