Bartholomew: Well and succinctly put! Hear, hear!

Carol, it works just fine for big business, they continue to report record profits. You don't see Dick Cheney applying for public assistance, do you? What is out of joint is they are no longer willing to accept a reasonable profit, they now feel entitled to make a usurious profit. See the notes above on exec. salaries, for example. And the consumer & employees continue to get screwed.

Best, Greg
