Biting the Hand that Feeds

bitethehandthatfeedsyouGreedy Capitalists are like the dog who bites the hand that feeds them. They have made their wealth through Capitalism, but now their greed threatens to destroy the very system that mothered them. They are like those people who use their freedom of speech to fight against the freedom of speech, they are destroying the very system that let them become what they are, and they do not realize it.

I plead with the CEO’s of large companies. Please watch your greed don’t you know that bigger your company gets, the more it makes, the more you make, the more you abuse employees, the more you exert power in the market place, equals more you are turning people against Capitalism? Any injustice that your company or you seem to commit is being leveled against Capitalism. People are not smart enough to see that Capitalism is not to blame for you getting $100 million bonuses while your employees are laid off or are paid below the living wages, but that your greed is. So your greed will not only destroy you, it will destroy the system that created you, you are in essense killing your own mother. The wealth that your mother enabled you to create, is now choking her to death by your greedy hand.

We do not need Socialism or the Government to save us, we need you to stop being so greedy for money and power. Stop giving Capitalism a bad name, stop taking advantage of your employees and the market place. Stop lying and cheating your way to “success”. Remember the failures of Enron and WorldCom. Yes, people hated those companies when they fell, but they hated Capitalism more, and thus their failure is ultimately a blow to Capitalism. I for one do not want Socialism to take control, but if you and us the American people cannot control our lust, well we are all doomed and will weep over the grave of our Economic mother, Capitalism.

    I love this analogy. So true. Too bad I have no control of any company. I would try to refrain from greediness if I did. :)
