Corporate greed has not just corrupted America's economic system; it has highjacked our value system. It has turned us into a transactional rather than a relational society, in which selling to one another is given more primacy than loving one another.

Value system also hijacked by investors willing to tolerate questionable corporate practices in order to get a dividend cheque and returns on their investments, such as defense industry's killing machines.

We, via corporations, unfortunately, have turned into a transactional society. Remember, follow the money trail. We select corporate offerings by voting with our dollars. We cannot initiate change w/o accountability

In a comment at a local show in London last night Russell Brand @rustyrockets said (I paraphrase), “don’t try to smash the system, build a new one and the old will wither”. A new system, based on love and cooperation? Greetings Marianne from Across the Pond

Absolutely. Sharing is becoming stigmatized like never before! Police raiding homeless camps and stealing heaters in subzero weather is encouraged by outraged homeowners who openly despise those who are less fortunate.

Yes and it’s worse than selling TO one another we’re SELLING one another.

Ma'am it has corrupted Global economic system and value system. All are surviving on degraded value system hence the Values are out of the SYNC. Indians are not far behind in search of so called American Dream.
