When the government bailed out Chrysler for the first time in the 1980s and Lee Iacocca paid himself in stocks the country started down the hill where it is now.

The scumbags running companies noticed how he did that and now it is the model for all of them to keep getting richer.

 

They keep increasing profits by any means necessary to keep increasing their net worth.

 

That in turn gives them more credit to be able to buy super expensive shit or to just pay more for whatever they want.

 

They drive up prices by paying more and by charging more to increase their profits.

 

The U.S. public has been hoodwinked into having retirement accounts. Those accounts make the people that own the most stocks and the people that gamble in the stock market more money than they make the citizens.

 

The whole fucking system is a scam.

 

Keeps people working their lives away and giving the system their money to play with just so that they can survive after they retire.

 

Few places still have pensions for those that worked for long periods of time at a company.

 

Capitalism has screwed the worker out of their lives while working and any sort of relaxing when they retire.

 

Just so they can have mega Yachts?

 

Capitalism needs to die.

 

Those that do the work should not have to worry about living after they retire.
