The one's who say the wealth never trickles down are, not ironically, always being fed intravenously on the government "trickle down". That includes teachers and bureacrats of all sorts who feed on business tax dollars like flies on trash.

Those who have hired people - because their business was expanding - know exactly how much power exists in Wealth Generation. Creating a PROFIT and being able to spread that profit as a benefactor and livelihood for others. Ford, Edison, Westinghouse and all the other evil "Big business" folks who are oppressors were also SMART enough to make that PROFIT. The workers should be happy they get a job at all - if they aren't able to CREATE and PROFIT, there value is left in their ability to toil.

Naturally, the toilers will always resent the creators and they can also easily spot those musical chair CEOs that are, themselves, merely displaced toilers who have learned to corrupt the system while not creating anything or toiling. Those that are merely parasitic to the capitalist system.

There have always been con men and scammers, but never before has there been so low a threshold of intelligence and public morality to filter them from high office and the board rooms. The result is what we see around us.
