It's all about Greed. It's never enough: the dwelling isn't big enough, the furnishings aren't fancy enough, the clothing isn't fashionable enough, the vehicle isn't new enough, yada-yada-yada... and don't get me started on the razors, brushes, hones, strops, and all the rest. The truth is that with this attitude, there's simply not enough to go 'round.

Large corporations buy smaller ones, creating vertical monopolies, then sell-off assets, "rightsize" worker resources, hoard profits, and relocate off-shore. The rest of us? We're hosed.

The problem isn't Capitalism. It's Greed.
