Greed is the president of a large corporation giving himself a huge raise after laying off 20,000 people. 20,000 men and women are now without jobs, not being able to support their families. They must start the job hunt all over again, starting from scratch at wanted ads and minimal wage, hoping to earn enough to just get by. This president now has enough money to throw around within his company due to the layoff of jobs of his workers, so he is able to give himself a bigger bonus and paycheck and afford a trip for the family to go to Aruba for two weeks. He is able to buy himself a new Mercedes CLK while one unemployed man has to sell his 2000 Toyota Camry to afford for his child to afford a community college in the town.

Yes, indeed that is greed but yet the greed that backs the president up is even far worst. The bigger picture is even more greedier. This country is all about greed and forget what you do to get to the top and get all the money.
ReplyDeletewow. this is definitely not a surprising scene because it happens in our country today. how unbelievably sad.
ReplyDeleteThis is really well put because every day this is happening on Wall Street where countless people continue to lose their jobs and reenter the job market. I think it was even said somewhere that most of the stimulus bill for the banks that was put into the economy last year went to the bonuses of the people who worked there already. Kind of like giving a rich kid a trillion dollar check?
