Absolutely correct, I know of the founder of a small privately owned company that laid off 2 employees in 2009. It was the only time in their now 50-year history that they laid anyone off and his son, the G.M. told me his dad went back to his office & cried after they told them. CEOs never cry!!!!!

1) Capitalism's fatal flaw is that it is an economic system that only values and rewards ownership. Socialism gives value to both ownership and work. To those who fear Socialism, stop allowing capitalists to define Socialism for you. Capitalists are now using the military to keep control.
