Greed is good?

It is said in the movie, WALL STREET, that “Greed is Good.” Well, is that true? I don’t believe that. It is explained that it is good because the more you have the more you yet desire, greed is gluttony. Wanting too much of any one thing, whether or not it is money, is a very bad thing. When is enough, truly enough?

For a person to take this notion into reality, they would usually do anything for their personal gain. Anything, including robbing people of their hard earnings for themselves. Take the workers on Wall Street for instance, they were robbed of their earned bonuses so that the managers and team leaders could have there’s more abundantly, how unfair is it that you work so hard for a company and then have the upper-class men strip you of what you’ve been working for?

Company leaders and owners hardly ever take into consideration the little people. You pour your heart and soul into your job and before you know it, you have two weeks to find another job because the company is closing. The Managers and CEOs carefully strategize to grab their winnings and ignore the fact that hundreds and thousands of people are going to be out of work. They close the company, file bankruptcy, and what they are truly doing is taking their money out of the company before it goes under and they won’t have to lose anything. Meanwhile, the employees lose their benefits and bonuses and no one seems to care. We need to care more about our fellow men; otherwise, change will never happen.

If I were to make “A WHACK ‘EM DOLL,” it would be of the CEO of the company that I recently worked for. The similar thing happened, they were an LLC before said genius decided to go cooperate. Now I’m currently unemployed along with 728 other employees due to company closure. Thanks. I want to whack him with a mallet!
