Projection again. This kind of voracious, eat-the-weak behavior, common in Washington, Hollywood, and other leftist preserves, is assumed by the Left to be exactly what anyone would do given the opportunity. I've helped run a few businesses, and anyone with the attitudes you listed would have been fired out the door so hard they wouldn't have hit the ground until they were across the street. Notice that none of the things you list has anything to do with actually creating and selling a profitable product or service, which is what the whole thing is about in the first place.

Rotten behavior can make the "bottom line" look good for a few months, but it never lasts. Heck, robbing a bank can make the "bottom line" look good for a week. Is that relevant?

I suspect your baggage is showing again...not every business experience is a bad one.
