Who is really corrupting America today? 1. NEA. 2. Big Media, including Hollywood. 3. Liberal Politicians who foment hatred, class envy, divisiveness and are the most corrupt we've ever had. In other words, all the people you blindly support flapjack. Our business leaders are no where near are biggest problem. The relatively few corporate leaders who operate out of the box and destroy a companies future, are small as compared to the millions of dedicated professionals who've created the strongest most vibrant economy in the world. Small businesses, which are the growth engine of our economy, prosper, largely because of the industrial leadership of our large corporations. One doesn't prosper in a sort of economic vacuum from the other. We should be proud to be called the home of such worldwide influential companies like McDonald's, Intel, Microsoft, Coke, Merk, Johnson & Johnson, and yes even Wall Mart, instead of derided them, like so many union leaders do. They are not all part of some evil entity which takes advantage of the worker like you've expressed so often here. But before I leave this subject there is one last thing I would like to say. I recognize we have a small segment of business leaders who do not look out for the long term interests of all stakeholders. And I also believe large organizations have a fiduciary responsibility to the community and workers who work there. It's not all about making money, although money does need to be made. However, instead of creating a climate of pointing fingers of divisive bitterness back and forth, like you've so often done, we should look for ways to encourage a partnership between businesses, and local community interests. Unfortunately, all too often, leftists politicians like the ones here in Seattle think they can treat an organization such as Boeing like an old car which can be pounded into whatever shape they want. Further, they stupidly believe they're immune from worldwide competition and don't give a rats ass how much they've raised their cost of doing business. Then, they're surprised when they move to another city, or offshore to increase their competitiveness. It's two sides of the same coin, and looking at one in a sort of tunnel visioned way does nothing to move us forward culturally as a society.
