How long will the people of the U.S put up with this B.S.? Prices are skyrocketing, Holiday bonuses for employees are gone, but C.E.O.'s are getting a fortune, while the working claass, those who ACTUALLY work for a living get less and less. The rich are getting richer, and there's less and less for everyone else. The U.S. is run by corporations now. I NEVER pledged allegience to the Corporate States of America, and would never give allegience to a republic had I known what it meant as a kid. I believe in a Democratic society. As long as there is a disparity between those who have, and those who have not, there is going to be strife in Our country. I personally think it's time for a revolution. It's time for the working class to take back Our country from the Corporations, and make America great again. Make it a country to be proud of. We can't even feed the starving here, but can afford to pay C.E.O's 1.8 Million dollars in Christmas bonuses. What is wrong with this picture?

Americans are so docile anymore, when it comes to corporate rule, they'll put up with it until they have to start eating their own children or starve!

If you don't like a company, don't work there, and don't buy their products. If you don't like where you work, then quit and get a job somewhere else, or start your own company. It all comes down to personal decisions and taking advantage of the opportunities given to you. No system is perfect, but free enterprise is infinitely better than the alternatives (i.e. Socialism or Marxism.) Living under those systems would make you wish you were dead. Don't give into the class envy syndrome.

Another uninformed person who plays the victim and feels that their is some finite pie of wealth. Well, the pie is not finite and someone else making alot of money really has no impact on what you will make. By the way, the rich are supposed to get richer as are others who save, invest, and earn a return on their money (tough concept, eh?)
Stop being such a drama queen (and another obviously misguided Liberal). You need to understand that a society (system) devoid of incetive (e.g., Socialism), is bound for failure. You have folllowed history and do understand human nature, right?
Oh sorry, I forgot you are just another misguided and uninformed Liberal. People like you are what is wrong with this picture.

I've got the solution! Let's take all of the money in the country and put it in a big pot, then, evenly redistribute the money between each man, woman and child. That would be fair and square. In fifty years, when we're back in exactly the same situation we're in now, we can do it all over again!

Are you mad yet? Don't like "wage slavery?" Keep looking deeper, it gets worse. Then we all need to discuss restoring this country to its former greatness paid for in blood by generations before us.
