I sent the following to J. Cowan, Pres. Third Way, after watching the Lou Dobbs/CNN interview this evening. Just wondered if I went a little overboard?
"If you honestly want to "take up for" the greedy (expletives) in the top echelon of the corporate hierarchy, and deny that the average working citizens of this country are being completely shafted through the unfair profit-mongering of the corporate (expletives), then I say that you are, sadly, one of the most moronic (and probably highly paid) mouthpieces I've ever had the displeasure to hear speak (which is saying quite a bit with the current president and administration)!
My question to you is: how can you justify the corporations and their officers soaking up millions of dollars (if not billions) from the sweat of the laborers who work so hard to create the profits to begin with? Also, how much profit would there be if those people weren't breaking their backs and working between 50-60 hours per week on average? Would those corporate officers have anything at all without those who toil in their stead? Would they even survive for a week without the "lower class" (there is no middle-class by the way)? Could more than 1% of them even change a tire or unclog a toilet on their own?
Sincerely,
R. Boggs
Small Business Owner
(yes, that's right)"
