Blame it on greed and hedge funds.
CEO's and top corporate officers are so overpaid it is driving America
out of business. Where else could a top corporate officer write his/her
own objectives in such a way that even if the company is failing
financially, they still will draw their bonus for achieving their
self-set goals.

See Carly Fiorina as an example.

Kennedy's "Ask not what your country can do for you" seems to have been lost
on the boomer generation.

Now 1% of America is making all the money and justifying it as good for the
economy, while the middle class can't afford homes, the banks are being sold
off to communists, and even as the President admits we're addicted to
terrorist-sponsoring oil your patriotism will be questioned if you tell
people we need to stop needlessly wasting gasoline and other resources.

Meanwhile their kids and grandkids are doing what they can for their
country, fighting the war, picking up the tab and, then being called
treehuggers, socialists, traitors or whackos by boomer columnists and talk
show hosts for saying America needs to slow the hell down and figure out how
it's going to feed itself and get out of debt before China and Saudi Arabia
own our asses.
