Enron, Halliburton, AIG, Global Crossing, Citibank, General Motors, and the list goes on, are reminders that unrestrained capitalism can be dangerous when pirating CEO’s are allowed to pilfer with reckless abandon that which Americans have worked so hard to build.
And while pirating CEO’s pillage in the light of day, other CEO’s creep silently in the shadows like vampires and slowly suck the life out of all of us. Today I view capitalism like religion, as a cloak that covers both saints and sinners, where government can be a maritime legion who sinks the vessel holding the pirates or the light of day that destroys the vampire.

So who’s next?
Unbeknownst to most Americans,
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson has been lurking off shore like a pirate on the horizon, waiting for his moment to come ashore and fill his coffers with profits he’ll obtain by pillaging the hard working middleclass men and women of AT&T, robbing them of their fair and just deserved wages and benefits. CEO Stephenson, a pirate whose sole purpose is to destroy in the name of profits, one of the last bastions of the American middle class worker, and has commandeered the once majestic vessel called Ma Bell, a powerful symbol of American ingenuity, know-how, and the middle class.
Alexander Graham Bell combined sound and electricity. His legacy built the American story for 130 years, and gave us companies like Western Electric and AT&T, creating jobs for middle-class families paying fair wages and benefits for linemen, switchboard operators, and other union workers who were able to purchase homes for their families and realize the American dream. Now Mr. Stephenson wants to tear down the American tradition where an honest company pays an honest day’s wages so long as it can remain profitable.
Well, Mr. Stephenson, AT&T profited a whopping 13 billion dollars in 2008 during one of the worst recessions in 75 years, now it’s your turn to do the right thing by the men and women who did the jobs that make AT&T so profitable!!

Randall Stephenson is a greedy mother fucking asshole. I know. I used to work for him. I wouldn't trust that son of a bitch to take care of a fucking nickel for me because he would claim it was his and I never gave it to him. Bonuses? Management bonuses are everything for this asshole and his suck ass cronies called VP's.
Mark my words. Before it's all said and done, Randall Stephenson will occupy a cell right next to Joe Nachio.
