There was a time when leaders of companies were respected people. They were people who were members of the community, who felt a responsibility to employees and the community. People who earned a substantial living but were not rapacious.

No more. Greed rules. We’re told that only big money will “incentivize” business leaders. They have to make obscene amounts of money, and to do so they will cut off employees, vendors, the community, anyone.

When you believe that the only thing that motivates people is greed, what kind of people do you get? Greedy people.
