Letter: Big firms lacking accountability, responsibility

Friday, June 17, 2005 | 5:14 a.m.

June 18-19, 2005

Is it just me, or does it occur to others, that if your company is big enough, you can stop fretting about going bust, which is what the normal small businessman has nightmares over? It seems all you have to do is file bankruptcy, cry poverty, dump your obligations on the dumb taxpayer (with the help of your political representatives), then light up that big cigar, sit back, and, I almost forgot, pick up that big bonus for saving the company all that money.

Then you can blame it on world competition, global economy, etc., etc. The dumb public will never figure it out anyway. The elephants in the room are greed and selfishness, in the form of the privileged and the fortunate exploiting the producers.

Please tell me that I am wrong and this country hasn't stooped to this level.
