And they don't give a flying rats ass either. In fact they have bought the Republican party and have given them their marching orders to go after Robertson's Social Security and Medicare so that they can have even more money in their tax sheltered offshore accounts. As far as they are concerned him and millions of others in the same boat as he is can keep busting their asses for shit wages until they drop dead.

I'd say it's more the fault or blue collar right-wingers voting against their own best interests. Corporations will always try to maximize profits and shareholder wealth because it's their fiduciary responsibility to do so. It is the job of the political system to balance this against societal needs.
