30. The successful innovators at WHAT???

The US is still the gateway to wealth for the unscrupulous. There was a time when the employee and employer were on more even footing...a few decades ago. What has emerged is a kind of indentured servitude where record profits have resulted from record productivity from ever-fewer and more poorly-paid employees doing the work. The "innovators" get richer while those who actually do the work become ever more desperate. And if these innovators are responsible for the kinds of innovative financial instruments that crashed our economy, I wish they would pull up stakes and get the hell out.

I have heard some euphemisms for the disturbingly wealthy like "job creators" and now "successful innovators". Most of these people got where they are because they have no conscience and no hesitance to squash others down in their quest to garner obnoxious amounts of wealth. Interesting study done that demonstrates that the incidence of psychopathy in the financial industry (which really doesn't produce anything tangible) is about ten times higher than in the general population. I would take that one step further and attempt a study that includes politicians.
