In order to have an open exchange of ideas and opinions we must be intellectually honest.

In our society there will always be scumbags. Whether they be wealthy or middle class....even poor. These are the negatives that we have to deal with. It should not be a condemnation of every business owner as greedy. Greed in the classic sense is good.

And I say again, when is the last time a poor person hired you?

I am being honest, when I grew up a business owner or CEO made 20 times that of the workers, and they lived just fine, My parents are small business owners, took no more then that from the company, they grew it re-investing and they are living good lives, it didn't take money for them to have happyness. I see no reason to expect 30% growth in an industry to be healthy or necessary! Most small businesses people are on par with that of my parents, but they are not the ones that brought this country to its knees.
