One of the most obvious examples of how assholes screw everything up. The good people move on, leaving the company with dregs, deadwood, and assholes.

Or does the success of the enterprise reflect on all who contribute?

My wife and I have raised two sons who are healthy, happy and are pursuing their dreams. We all love each other very much. They appreciate that they did not have everything handed to them in their youth. Would we have been more successful in raising our sons if we could have fulfilled all of their material wants? I think not. I always considered raising my sons the most important job in my life. I would consider it a success.

I also take a lot of pride in winning lawsuits and arbitrations - but I realize that I don't have complete control over the outcome. When I win it is not always just because of what I did, and when I lose, there are times when nothing I would have done would have made a difference. In other words, when I win it does not necessarily mean that I am personally a winner, and when the other side wins, it does not necessarily mean that I am a loser. We do the best we can and move on.

When are you going to realize that regardless of the fact that everyone within an organization contributes, it is the man at the top who is solely deserving of our respect and admiration? Everyone else is "......just an employee. A piece of machinery hired to perform a function.", as I have been told by conservatives on manifold occasions.

They are greedy, selfish and elitist, incapable of understanding shared strength, shared sacrifice and shared success. In their eyes such things are "collectivist" and evil. Fealty to wealth and uninhibited, unopposed corporate, capitalist power is what they love. What's amusing is their inability to see the irony of them accusing others of doing the same, as they are the worst of us all in these regards.

It's projection when they do that, plain and simple.

Would that include ne'er do well conservative business owners who now blame the president, the government, liberals, the workers, environmentalists, gays, Atheists, space aliens, dung beetles,........virtually everyone and everything but themselves for their inability to succeed?

I'd say anyone who has failed to succeed has no one to blame but themselves, even now.

I think the biggest entitled crybabies on the planet sit on YOUR side of the aisle. They expect the rest of us to sacrifice much so they can succeed. Screw that. I will sacrifice NOTHING to appease these sorry ass losers.

Rand Paul wants to privatize Social Security. Some financial institution(s) will game Social Security and offer people lump sum payment when they qualify like the reverse mortgage situation was mentioned here. How do you "Fred Thompson" Medicare?

Isn't it interesting how when the shit hits the fan, like it did at Enron and World Com and AIG, then the top guy, who is supposed to be so important, is suddenly swearing on a stack of bibles that he had no clue as the what was going on?
