It was a public radio station that i listened too last fall about the statement from M.I.T.
Public radio is a prime example of the liberal left propaganda machine at it’s best. Please mix in some FOX news to offset that drivel.

This is meant not to offend anyone here on the site but i’ve seen enough greed in my life to drive prices up in alot of situations, its always the biggest desire to make the most in the shortest amount of time.
Isn’t that the American way? Isn’t that what makes America great? Look, if you don’t get up every morning and have the desire and gumption to be the best, do you best job, make the most money, get that promotion, demand that raise you deserve and so on you will lose in the long run. As Dave B said, and like it or not it’s the reality of life here. GREED IS GOOD! Call it greed, competition, desire, whatever if you don’t have it, sorry to tell you this but, you ain’t going succeed in the long run. This is the fundamental difference between conservatives and liberals. Conservatives want to make a lot of money and keep it (greed) Liberals want the conservative to make all the money then take it away (tax it) and give it to the liberals.

Im not going to charge those people more money just because i can, thats why i bid a job at my hourly wage multiplied by the hours it will take, this is fair to everybody and favoring no one.
I’m not going to tell you how to run your business. But you have to ask yourself why are you doing that! Why not make every single last dime you can for your effort?

I’ll eat my words if someone can prove to me that these bigger companies that have the ability to control the prices on the things we need in our everyday lives give us a good deal and instead are more concerned with making huge prifits on the back of Americans
Ya know, that might be true if companies like Wall-Mart were artificially inflating prices. In reality the the opposite is true. Big Box chains are doing a super job of keeping prices on consumer good lower than they have ever been. The majority of items that have gone up drastically in price are items that need to meet some government mandated laws. For instance, cars would still be $3,000 each if they didn’t meet government safety and fuel efficiency and pollution standards. Gas would be cheaper if pollution laws were tossed out Pharmaceuticals (and health care) would be cheaper if they were not constantly sued and lose multi million dollar cases every time they turn around. I’m not suggesting that is good or bad, it’s reality. There is a good reason why many things you buy are more expensive. Don’t always look to greedy corporations, look to overbearing government regulations and taxation as the cause.
I read your post 3 times and to me, most of it just sounds like whining. You seem to feel that if the government collected all of these “Millions” from these greed corporations everyting would just be rosy. In reality, everything would get more expensive.
Let me pose this questions:
What would happen to the American economy if the Government imposed a price cap on gasoline at the pumps for $1.00?
Answer: The economy would come to a grinding halt. Why? Because there would be no gas to pump at $1.00 a gallon.
So, why is gas $2.50 a gallon? Because you are willing to pay for it.
Now, go make some more money……

but it is reality.
and guess who is on the band wagon? Barbera Boxer….Yah think!?
