It's true that corporate profits have never been higher. And still, they want more.

4. Greed didn't just happen in the last 50 years.

Successful societies find ways to put limits on how far greediness can take a person.

What we have done is allowed the foxes to design and build the security systems for the hen houses. That is why we are constantly getting plucked. We could go a long way to getting a handle on insatiable greed by demanding meaningful campaign finance reform. We have to get corporate America out of the polling places and quit letting the CEOs buy House and Senate seats. Our system of electing those who make our laws is badly broken. "We the People" has been redefined as we the top 1%.

It has gone so far that now, it will take torches and pitchforks to get meaningful changes. I don't think that we have the energy to force changes. We know what needs to be done.
