Capitalism - It has got Grade Four Cancer.

The increasing gap between the incomes of those working for faceless corporations (Clouds) and those who actually do stuff, continues to grow.  This income gap is not sustainable for several reasons.  One of the biggest is that society will eventually rebel and probably in a manner that will destroy the future and hopes of many of us.  Anarchy is a real danger.

The second important reason why this abomination must eventually end, is because these "Clouds" have no compunction about destroying  the environment, people, towns, small business or even developing countries, if they think there is a dollar in it.  Globally, they have already corruptly placed their own representatives in the worlds influential organisations,  such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Food and Drug Authority, to mention some. They are absolutely ruthless.  If you don’t believe me, listen to John Perkins.  He used to be an expert Economic  Assassin himself.  http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=83B1AF93091799E7CEB88C5C459A530B 

Do you know how these cloud like companies grow?  If you have a small business, you might want to read this:

Take a small efficient manufacturing business providing jobs in a rural or urban area.  Thsese companies provide the life blood of families, villages, towns and cities. Eventually it's quality products gain the attention of a large cloud company.  They offer this small company a contract that makes the owner’s eyes water.  Huge order, price is good.  The owner thinks all his Christmases have come at once.
Over a short time he get so busy with this one main client, he often neglects his existing customers. They in turn suffer from the loss of a great supplier. The Factory has to expand, taking a huge loan to keep up with the orders.
Once this level of indebtedness or leverage is reached, the cloud company slowly demands a lower and lower price for the goods.  Complaints are met with mutterings of sympathy but no increase.  Now a medium size business, the manufacturer goes into liquidation.  The Cloud buys the business to at a give away price, supposedly to help out.
 
At this stage the the owner and the community have been gutted like rotting fish.  Result: Cloud company grows even bigger, adding the value of the manufacturing plant at a fully revalued market price.  Executives pay themselves an extra bonus for growing the Cloud company.  Employees are often then superseded by immigrant labour on cheap wages or the production is sent off shore.  Either way the community and the owner are forgotten.  Too easy!
