Corporate ethics seems to be at an all-time low, and the moderate-income and poor of the world are the victims.

And yet the moderate-income and poor of the U.S. of A. (read Tea-Baggers, Republicans et. al.) want to throw out of office the people who are attempting to do something to help them and put back in power the same assholes that created the mess in the first place.

and the power and trust that nations put in these global companies

"nations" can't put trust or anything else in corporations- its people- like the idiots above- that do.

Are Piaget's stages of development taught in schoolsany longer, I wonder??
