The 12 years that the Republicans and the vocal minority neo-conservatives have had a heavy hand in government here, have only made the fat man richer, and the working class poorer. Anti-trust legislation has practically been erased, tax breaks are given to corporations to MAKE even more money!
Our patent laws, DMCA, yadda, yadda are all about corporate wealth, and the withering of "the people". Personal rights are being thrown out over corporate profits and greed. Grant you the American people don't realize that things for us were pretty good, but the current government is heading us into a fascist, corporate empire hated by the rest of the world.
Fiduciary responsibility to the share-holders is a joke, when the vast majority of "shares" are held by corporate leaders and board members! The only people they are looking out for are themselves!
What has this got to with Delphi? Many large International Corps are getting away with terrible things... when in fact the only mistakes taking place are in the board rooms! It's easy to blame unions, material cost, energy, taxes, etc.; until you look at the compensation given to the top brass, all while yanking it from the roots!
Unfortunately, corporations and nations are like trees: when the roots die from starvation and pruning, the tree will topple from it's own weight when a tempest strikes...
