Greedy managers will prey on the ignorance of those who will debase themselves. Curious how the common thread is the Rah! Rah! attitude demonstrated by the Kool-Aid drinkers employed by those companies, be it B6, VX or WalMart.
They work for substandard wage/benefit packages while the Walton family consistently heads the list of the world's richest individuals. So, who is the sucker in this picture?

Let's change that to-"The American public doesn't want to pay for me". Do you owe me a living? Say yes and guess I might say I guess I owe you one.
And let's change it to "Some people will suffer any indignity to feed themselves or their family".
Understand the bulk of America struggles to get by. This is a competitive capitalist system. If I want to save money and fly JetBlue, SWA, or AirTran and save MY money- I don't owe you jack.
If you find my product not to your liking or too costly- don't buy it. That's called competition in a free market system. And believe me, I'm no fan of WalMart.
