Yes, corporate execs and shareholders have developed a mentality that they are entitled to the fruits of the labor of others without fair compensation. They're a bunch of parasites, oblivious to the reality that they are destroying our nation.
That's true, and makes the 'takers and makers' thing not only evil but terribly ironic.
Capital has an important role and should make a reasonable profit, but it's another matter entirely when it becomes a giant parasite turning the economy into plutocracy.
Romney made the mentality clear recently talking about 'huge gifts' for the poor.
Doesn't Obama understand that's Romney's money going to the workers!?
I mean, when Romney puts in $5 million to leverage a buyout of a company, and then loads the company with debt and pockets $100 million profit and goes bankrupt, he's a maker!
When Wall Street turns into an industry based on draining the wealth of others, with complex derivatives, high frequency trading, gambling, they're makers!
The guy who makes Ding-Dongs for low income, he didn't make that.
These folks at the top are the 'entitlement mentality'.
An ever-smaller group with ever-more money who own and take all the profits made by others.
That's why as the economy has more than double, the bottom 80% got about zero of the increased productivity and wealth from them.
Why during the economic recovery since 2008, as the stock market has doubled, 93% of the recovery has gone to the top 1%.
But the workers are 'entitled'. What immoral, lying asshole morality.
