...he is a big part of the problem because he is now like Roger Smith was to General Motors, but instead of fucking up just one company, * is fucking up the entire nation :wtf:

Roger and MeI have seen the Devil. His name is Roger B. Smith. Alright, I might be going a bit far, but though this son of a whore might not be the Prince of Darkness, there's no doubt in my mind that it's morons like this guy that will lead the world to its end. Watching this film, I didn't know if I wanted to laugh, cry or buy a gun, drive down to Detroit and shoot the guy in the head. Mkay. Roger B. Smith is the chairman of General Motors (well, he was 10 years ago, I haven't done any research to see what he's up to now). You know, GM, the big American cars that pollute our air. Anyway, the film tells us that GM was actually founded in the small town of Flint, Michigan. Oh, the American spirit. America, Home of the Free... Free to make money by any means, at least. It's capitalism, baby. If Roger B. Smith and all the other old, white fat cats are the Devil, capitalism is their hellish kingdom. I'm not saying that we should go communist or anything, but you gotta be fricking thick-headed not to realize that people almost always take the capitalism thing way too far. While it's supposed to be about giving Everyman the opportunity to do whatever he wants with his money, to start a business and become rich (ah, the American Dream...), the way things are turning on, it does the exact opposite thing. What we get is a mean, inhuman minority or businessmen who rule the money world with an iron fist and will run Everyman into the ground any day if it can up the bottom line. Free enterprise is one thing. Putting profit over people is another.
