Morons on parade.

The more I work with corporate America, the more I understand that the value of ....shall we call it VALUES!

For a time now, I've provided advice and other services to a corporation.

In the scant two (2) years of my association, I've experienced a caricature of corporate America.

First of all, this company (although one I hold deep regard for in my personal life...) seems to hire what I charitably call "flunkies" for their management staff.

These people spend most of their time avoiding responsibility, shirking work, and shifting blame rather than actually working.

Secondly, whenever I provide any advice, legal or otherwise, if it conflicts with their bottom line, I immediately suffer demonization and threats against my future tenure.

What I've learned from this experience?

Schmoes work in corporate America. They sacrifice integrity for their own self-interest.

I don't think the founding fathers had this in mind when they set up our great country.

I've also learned that the truth is really scary when money in involved.

Why?

It seems that every decision made by my corporate affiliate gets resolved in a fashion that results in maximization of their cash-flow NOW rather than for their long-term financial stability.

Such is the life of Mr. Brutal Honesty.

Taxes are only for the "little people"

This story goes to show that taxes are really "just for the little people."

And we wonder why our deficit has mushroomed.

Not only do we have runaway spending, but we also have a significant number of corporate tax cheats.

I wish I could get away without paying taxes for 7 years with the excuse that it's just too tough.

Here's why corporations get away with it: Individual taxpayers can be jailed for non-payment of taxes. How do you jail a corporation? You can't.

So, where's the incentive to pay taxes if the consequences are only financial?

Bushco at it yet again with an incompetent attempt to protect their corporate constituents.

This story printed in the Washington Post underscores why the Bush administration is nothing but incompetent and in the back pocket of corporate interests.

Not only can't they do things properly by submitting the proposed rule-making for public comment AS REQUIRED BY LAW, but they are trying to pull a fast one that benefits corporate America AT THE EXPENSE of individual workers.

When Bushco acts like this I am completely dumbfounded as to why they garnered so much support from the very people that will suffer if this attempt to shaft the U.S. worker.

Explain to me why people voted to support an incompetent boob whose only interest is the well-heeled and powerful?

This attempt is just another sign of the damage wrought by incompetence married to opportunism with an added dose of deceit.
