Corporations have made the highest profits in history in the last quarter,
yet the salaries of their workers have not improved, nor have the numbers of
the unemployed gone up. With his bail-outs, Obama is the man who saved the modern
capitalist system, yet the corporatists - the very beneficiaries of his
policy - continue to pile venomous hatred upon him. And the middle-class,
who are providing the work, is being throttled half to death.

There are too many psychopaths holding high positions - both in private
industry and in government. I googled the following, and there are
thousands of articles that showed up:

With so many psychopaths in high positions, can humankind possibly avoid self-destruction?

4. Yes, corporations have corrupted too many of our leaders. These people
are near-sighted. They can only see their immediate profits. They don't
see what it does to our country as a whole in the long run.

6.  Yeah, it's a deeply entrenched evil system, and it'll be a tough one

3. That's why it is so important to give them a taxcut.
Oh, that doesn't make sense, does it?
