hello america! 'GREED'...an ominous word at best. we usually use it in the same sentence with money. today, i will use outside of it's normal box...
obama & many others called the ceo's greedy & say that that's what led to this economic mess---for the record, i strongly disagree with that thinking---however, greed is what drives america & without it, we would be back in the stone age. &, before you get all upset, read the following...
you start a business to make a profit (& that's the bottom line) &, if you only make a little profit, you remain a little business---but, if you make a great deal of profit, you expand so you can make more. it's the american way. you can argue all you want with this thinking but, let's be real about it.
kfc, walmart, sears, home depot, your milk company, your egg company, your bank, your car dealer, your home builder, your airline company, just to name a few, all had one thing in common---THEY ALL STARTED SMALL. none of them started their business by opening hundreds of stores all at once. dominoes didn't start with hundreds of pizza shops & none of the rest of the others did either. they all started out with one store & it just kept getting better & bigger. &, i'm willing to bet that none of them had any idea that they would grow into what they are today. t-mobile, verizon, at&t, exon, kraft foods, ect; etc; etc. in fact, you name a business & i'll bet it didn't start out big. DON'T GET THIS CONFUSED WITH BUYOUTS & MERGERS.
another thing you don't hear about is how many of them had to struggle to get to where they are.
so, now that they are making millions of dollars of profit & can afford to eat dinner in parris & jet to la for a movie, we now call them greedy. are you stupid? really, are you? take your girl oprah. she didn't even know if her show would even be around six months after it first aired & look at her now. is she greedy? look at all the people she's employed & helped & don't forget her donantions to charities. but, she lives a lifestyle that many americans can't even afford to dream about.
there are all forms of greed. obama is very greedy but won't admit it & yet, his actions prove it. he wants to go down as the first president to have done so much within his first 100 days & he doesn't care who says what.
greed is those that lie about what they are doing in order to get more---those, that cook the books---those that decieve us & obama is right in the middle of this group.
