Of course they can quit, and live homeless, so long as your profit margins aren't affected, and your portfolio says fat and juicy. Take all you can, just because you can. It's the corporate way.

It's the American way.

Do you complain about the actors, athletes and musicians that rake in millions each year also?

And no one is allowed to ask exactly how it came to be "their" money.

Maybe if they didn't have thieving democrats looking for new ways of stealing the money from them they would have it in US banks being loaned to US companies.

And maybe if the whole system wasn't rigged in favor of rich, greedy, privileged parasites, someone who actually EARNED that money would have it.

They were forcibly deprived of their liberty, giving them little choice. Agreement under duress has never been recognized as genuine consent.

Let's change your post to reflect the reality of the situation:

....and when a rich, greedy parasite has government come into your home and steal your hard earned wages to give to the idle, privileged rich...it's THEIRS now too. Most rich, greedy parasites don't earn anything...they simply confiscate the fruits of others.

Much better.

Then America is as doomed as all the other societies that allowed rich, greedy, privileged parasites to rig the economy in their own favor.

Indeed I do. Especially the "musicians" who just grunt ugly noise.

CEO's do nothing for society except fire people, take fat bonuses for themselves, bankrupt companies, and crush the working man. That's not quite the same thing as a guy swinging a bat and drawing fans to buy tickets, and allow the team to compete. Corporations need to be ABOLISHED. "Too big to fail" entities need to be busted up into tiny pieces. That's not the American way...it's the corporate greedster criminal way.

Roy pull your head out. I never had a boss who didn't put in more hours a week than any of his employees. In america you are as often as not the owner if you have a 401k.

Your notion that the system is some how rigged is just BS.

I am the one who is willing to know facts, here. You are not.

Then you haven't had many jobs. You are also confusing management with ownership.

In america you are as often as not the owner if you have a 401k.

No, you are not. You just get shown a picture of ownership; and if you are stupid, ignorant, and gullible, you think that makes you the owner.

The system is indisputably rigged. There is no other way the productive can be kept poor at the same time greedy, idle parasites get rapidly richer while contributing nothing.

You could always buy some land and start a farm.
