When you find yourself destitute, remember how good it was when you had a job provided by your "greedy" company. If this isn't the case, then you must be a government employee feeding off the tax payer. The government legislates honesty by taxing. I don't see that as an answer to anything! Greed is greed, no matter who does it, however, there is a difference: Companies are held accountable by the people through competition in the free market and the government has no competition, therefore no accountability. Move to a Communist country and leave our free society to those of us that love America.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-75579015151155889882011-04-23T10:19:45.719-04:002011-04-23T10:19:45.719-04:00Mr. Molovinsky,
