Financial Jenga

Devoted to the rich. We are letting ourselves down because we are the backbone, the hard working people, but even we will topple when somebody pulls the wrong piece,

I don't know about you, but I've never longed for a person that was inexperienced for elevator repair, brain surgery or teaching the next generation of either. It's short term profit over long term gain and it is going to kill our nation. Corporations do it by firing people that know how to do the job, just so the stock price rises during the quarterlies. That is what is going to end our economy.

When you can't see past the quarterly and only reward those that make it look good, you aren't promoting healthy corporations, organizations or administrations - you are crippling them to make the top look good while destroying the foundation.

Financial Jenga can only last so long.D
