Some corporations are actually interested in sacrifice. That is, your sacrifice. Not their own.
Weasels!
Headline - Murdoch champions deep cuts
“Media magnate Rupert Murdoch called on Thursday for Britain’s coalition government to press ahead with deep cuts in public spending, saying the financial crisis should not lead to an assault on economic liberalism.” (Oct. 22, London Free Press)
In other words, take away as much cake as possible, just not his cake.
Weasel!
["We're all in this together. Except for some CEOs"]
Though “81 billion pounds of spending cuts to address a budget deficit of 11% of GDP” have been announced in Britain, Murdoch only wants to support cuts at the expense of the public, not for private corporations.
Weasel!
“Murdoch said the current government needed to emulate (former prime minister Marg) Thatcher’s views on individual freedom and responsibility even if they proved unpopular.... the only real security is the security of opportunity.”
Quite the corporate philosophy, eh?
Take freedom away from the individual. Don’t touch corporate freedom.
Make the individual bear the responsibility of handling the nation’s debt. Don’t put such a responsibility upon the corporate world.
Remove security from the individual. Continue to provide security to the corporation.
Murdoch is a weasel, and so is any corporation that’s not willing to share in any nation’s effort to right the books and chart a more sensible philosophic and economic course for the future.

If individual pensions, lifestyles and responsibilities are under the microscope throughout the world, corporate principles and responsibilities should be as well.
Rampant commercialism may have affected my brain.
