I am a small business owner and I can tell you here on Main Street when revenues are down, we don't fire employees or cut salaries until we have exhausted every other option. When the retail sector was hit hard, the first thing I did was stop taking a salary. Now, every business guru will tell you "pay yourself first", but I feel responsible for 5 other women, and I am not going to pay myself first and lay one of them off. Thankfully, things are looking strong again, but I will always support Main Street owners first. Which is why I’m so fed up with Wall Street.

I'm on the verge of giving myself a stroke every time I think about stuff like this...which is every minute on the minute (it seems). Fuming. Yes. Glad you bring it to attention of those who don't know... It’s bad, all right.

Such gluttony! Such wanton disregard for ethical business practice. It stupefies & saddens me too.
