It is a Crime!

Many, like myself are fed up with the ways that companies perform their business and take advantage of others.  After all companies are made up and ran by individuals right?  It seems largely though that companies are their own class and as such allowed to behave and profit, even if at the expense of you and I, or others than we know.  While you and I are subject to rules and consequences, it seems that companies while having rules suffer no consequences when they break the rules! 

When I was brought up, I was taught to lead by example!  It is a damn good thing I don't follow some of the examples that some of the largest companies or most prominent figures live or I would be in a bunch of trouble!  Just think back in 'recent' years of some of the companies and markets that have been so prominently displayed; savings and loans, Enron, the telecommunications industry, the financial industry, BP.  What consequences did they suffer from all their ills (illegal) dealings.  Where you one of the lucky few who profited from their misdeeds?  More so, maybe it was you or a family member who suffered at the hands (actions) of these 'leaders' in our world economy!

Why is it that profit seems to have become so important in our life times, so important that we are willing to risk everything for the sake of it?  If we don't risk everything in one way, assuredly many of us 'risk' or give our lives in the pursuit of profit!  How long have you been with the company you work for?  Putting your loyalty in something believing that entity is looking out for your best interest and comfortable life when you retire.  How quickly are they willing to let you go rather than risk their bottom line, or next report to the stockholders?  The true bottom line is we mean SHIT to most as they go about pursuing their own goals and objectives!  How much are you willing to give?  What are you willing to sacrifice?

More and more, it seems that largely society wants to work less, not work as hard and still have the same things and more than they ever had!  Everyone is out to make a quick and easy 'buck' whatever the sacrifice and at whoever' expense.  Don't believe me?  Just take a look around you, look and listen to the sacrifices people are willing to make and do make, so their lives are 'easier.' 

Don't worry things aren't going to get easier for you, but someone is going to continue to get rich, at your expense!  It will never change, not until you are willing to make change in your life.
