Having What We Need

SOMETIMES CORPORATIONS can be heros too. It does make sense, in a sense. ON paper, legally, corporations are individual people; just as every human born into this here world is potentially a corporation. Heroism is often  on paper too, commercial paper.

Today's heros are the Chrysler corporation, and the Random House Publishing corporation. Both announced recently that their employees would all be receiving revenue sharing bonuses, roughly twenty five hundred dollars for chrysler employees and around five thousand per for random house people.

The bonuses are going to the people lower on the pyramid, admirably. Way to go, oh great greedy capitalistic imperialistic materialistic elite corporate complex. A corporation, not being bad all the time. Can you imagine...

Ladies and gentlemen, that's the way to do it. That's good business, free market corporate capitalism working for everybody, the way it can, the way it should. America at her beautiful best.

When business are properly operated, which means first and foremost the right business at the right time in the right place, they succeed, and produce profits for everybody, including most notably their customers.

My complainet with CEO salaries adn people with extraordinarily high incomes generallyl is not that they don't deserve what they make, not that they have not earned what they make, but that they don't need what they make, and therefore should let that part which they need not flow on down the river unto others, in the style of a bill gates or a warren "oracle of omaha" buffett.

whether its the corporations, the custodians, or the cooks, whoever has great concentrations of wealth has control of society, and since we should all have some small measure of societal control, we should all have reasonable levesl of income and wealth.

Let us please here nobody trying to argue with this viewpoint by asking hollow rhetorical questions such as "how do you know what other people need or don't need", or, another brilliant one "what do you mean by 'reasonable'"?

I don't know, but Iknow it when i see it? Is that a rhetorical enough response to a rhetorical question?   Yeah, yeah, yeah.....how much maony different people need is opinion, partly, and the word "reasonable" is purely subjective in this sense, but so damned what?

We all know how much a loaf of bread costs, and pretty much everything else. we also know how many cars and articles of clothing people tend to need, roughly, and how large a house must be to be comfortable.

And the way chrysler and random house are currently doing business, a whole lotta folks are gonna have exactly what they need.
