You may have seen this already, if you subscribe to Alternet, but in case you haven’t, there’s a very heart warming holiday story about the 10 greediest people in America.
Honestly, I wasn’t sure I wanted to read it. Why raise the blood pressure, why feel bad if I don’t have to? Can’t I just ignore this, since I’m powerless to do anything about it anyway?
Well, then I read it. I’m a glutton, right? And what surprised me about this, this list of piggish financial gluttony, is not just how it even surpassed my expectations as to what greedy corporate assholes these people are, it’s the fact that I hadn’t really heard of any of them.
I pride myself on being pretty well informed, although I don’t go into too many details, especially those of business, it’s just to mind-numbing to dive into that world. I like to sit back and look at the big picture. So many that’s why I didn’t recognize hardly any of these people.
Or maybe there’s just so damn many of them, and so many of them are flying under the radar, that most of us still have no idea how we’re being robbed, constantly, and by how many robbers.
