Greed.

This blog post and attached article go hand in hand with my post on the payroll tax cuts for the middle class. It's an ideal depiction of what is wrong with our government and our economy and why the situation continues to get worse, rather than better. The ability to make such a law, excluding themselves from being included in the laws that prohibit insider trading is appalling and yet not all that shocking. It's just what I would expect from a greedy corporate company and it's the reason people have taken to the streets in protest of Wall Street. People are fed up with companies continuing to rob us of our prosperity. The ditch they keep digging is only making a more apparent line between the wealthy and the not wealthy and is all but eliminating the middle class. 

I'm so pleased to hear that people like Nakeisha are taking such an active role in voicing their opinions. We have the ability to be the change we want to see in the world but all too often people forget that or are easily discouraged. This next decade will truly prove to be an interesting one to say the least.
