The Selfishness of Big Corporations?

I am a member of the 99% of Americans who have bills to pay and mouths to feed, making less than $500,000 a year.

I'm also a member of the considerably-less-than-99% who will pay those bills and feed those mouths without stopping to blame corporate America for some ill-specified grievance.

Oh, I know it's "greed" at the root of all America's troubles. I agree, "Greed" (a close cousin of "selfishness") creates big problems, including poverty on one side and gross excess on the other. But the misunderstanding comes when we claim big business executives are the only greedy ones, all while saying, essentially, "give the wealth to ME!"  

Protestors of big business greed don't really specify HOW to "better distribute" wealth to the 99% other than taking it from the nameless rich. This is because writing their demands would more clearly highlight their foolishness:

1. We want someone else to create jobs. 
2. We want someone else to come up with a good idea.
3. We want someone else to take a risk and invest in it.
4. We want someone else to contribute to a company's growth until it turns a profit. THEN
5. We want that person to divide those profits with us.
Oh, and ...
6. We do not want this person to become "rich" in the process...

Sounds like nonsense, doesn't it?

Luckily, we already have a perfectly fair way of "distributing wealth" in this country. Those who contribute a desirable service, good, or idea get rewarded for that contribution. Those with nothing to offer must go to school or teach themselves a valuable skill OR, as many college-drop-out-billionaires have done, come up with brand new business idea and grow it yourself...

Or protest. It's America, you have the right, too. But don't expect me to honk my horn in support when I drive past the courthouse.

I am the 99% of people not classified as "very wealthy." But I am not selfish enough to demand punishment for those creative, hard-working, and daring enough to push into the 1%.
