Who are the bigger crooks, politicians or businessmen? I'd say it's a tossup. Both are DIRECTLY responsible for our current economic straits.
Remember a few years ago when Hershey Foods (Candy) built a new plant in Mexico and put hundreds of Central Pennsylvania workers out of jobs? The CEO of Hershey was Richard Lenny. Lenny was also on the board of trustees for Milton Hershey School, a $7.5 billion charity founded by Milton Hershey to provide a high quality education to orphaned children. The charter of this foundation specifically states that NO funds are to be used for ANY other purposes.
It has recently been revealed that the Milton Hershey Trust board voted to pay $12 million for a golf course valued at less than $4 million adjoining school property. Said golf course was going bankrupt. Guess who was an investor in the course? Yeah, Lenny. That was real hard to figure out, wasn't it? Lenny, whose total compensation reward for putting Americans out of jobs his last year before retiring (2007) was $11.3 million.
As I have said before, the scum running American corporations today are no better than the politicians. The only thing they think about is how much they can put in their own pockets. They could care less if the whole country collapses in the next ten years as long as they are getting rich beyond our wildest dreams.
My friends, we, the American public, are also owners of these companies. If you have a 401k or an IRA, you are in the stock market. Just like politics, it's time to let these bastards know "we're mad and we're not going to take it any more." I know it's hard for most of you to find 5 minutes to do something you really like doing, let alone spend an hour writing letters. But let me remind you "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
Just like the political situation, if we don't fix this stuff now, America as we know it will be gone within our lifetimes.
In Liberty,
