"So long as the ordinary folk can be made to blame each other for their plight, they will not look for the real source of trouble. And the powerful corporations will continue reaping the benefits of larger profits, corporate expansion and growing economic power."
Just how important are companies and corporations to today's world? Indeed, perhaps more important than the individual.

The real goal of the mega rich corporations is to eliminate the middle class and overburden the poor. Without a middle class there can be no bridge from lower economic standing to wealth and the poor will be to preoccupied with simply trying to survive.
In other words the rich get to stay rich without having to worry about the poor rising up. |

Small Businesses in this Corporate world we live in are back bone of this
country success and makes Economy tick along . Most Corporate CEO's of world merely grab from poor to increase their margin lines while giving them self's extraordinary bonuses with out justification especially when Company has made a massive loss .Most Australian's cant fathom that eg Economic crisis .lam not Corporate bashing .l like many what to see accountability, Transperacy,ect. But with no government intervention or pressure from public this will wash away down drain. |

There is no massive conspiracy from corporations. Their job is to make money, to raise stocks, etc. and that is what they do. The real problem comes in when government comes in with its subsidies and insurance, which allows those corporations to sometimes go crazy and make a mess.
