Yeah, "corporate capitalism"
So I start a business and I work for myself. I have to pay for all my own equipment, my own material,my building, my overhead, my insurance,etc; but just because my company isn't greedy as satan himself and trying to make millions of dollars a year off the backs of others, instead of just working harder and putting out more product for the million, it doesn't count.
I get a mortgage on a 2 million dollar property, hire some employees and pay them some money and buy them insurance, I can charge $8,900 for a $20 part ??? And all that makes it right huh?
Never understood how these people sleep at night.
I've heard too many times, "oh, we HAVE to charge that much because of this , that and some other stuff" Then I look at the public records, only to find out that company turned a $8 million profit for the year>. So you HAVE to charge that much, why? It's NOT because you HAVE to, it's because of your greediness.
It's like when folks rip off Walmart or Home Depot, their signs say " Please don't shoplift from us. You only hurt the customers when we have to go up on the cost all our stuff because someone stole from us"
So instead of Home Depot hiring some in-store security, they pass their loss onto the customers !!!!! If someone ripped me off, my prices don't go up, I just take the loss and go on with it.
