USA FINANCES
Profiting from Plebs Worldwide
From comedians to cows, or barstools to birthdays: there is ALWAYS a business profiting
from plebs. Mundane workers are paid low wages. Customers are overcharged. Some billionaires
made their money via pharmaceutical companies; some millionaires utilised energy
businesses. Famous actors, authors, and artists are guilty of exploiting lesser humans.
Food and beverages are good examples of how fortunes can be made. A vulgar amount
of billionaires exist. Beneath the super-rich many upper-middle-class people are
also very wealthy. Trapped in poverty at the bottom of the heap you find countless
masses of fools. The majority of the human race is composed of unintelligent-poor-people
imprisoned in plebeian mental squalor. The purpose of poor fools is to maintain rich
lifestyles for The Privileged Elite. This is slavery. Dolts are exploited.

► Exploiting Dolts in the USA
Victorious Beauty - 1st April 2008
The Wal-Mart-Corporation sells various consumer goods. 2006AD saw Wal-Mart's net
income rise to $3.94 billion! During 2004 it was alleged low-salaries at Wal-Mart
Stores were causing nationwide low-wages and poor employee benefits. Pay-scales at
Wal-Mart therefore formed part of a national political debate regarding USA pay structures.
Wal-Mart proclaims: "Our Company's fundamental compensation philosophy is to provide
compensation and benefit programs needed to attract, retain, and reward Associates
who contribute to the Company's success." Currently the average hourly pay for a
USA Wal-Mart cashier is $8.09. The Chief Executive Officer at Wal-Mart (H. Lee Scott
Junior) was awarded a $22 million bonus because he achieved revenue targets in January
2007; this $22 million was in addition to a yearly salary of $5.23 million, plus
$15.7 million in bonuses during 2006. Wal-Mart has also been accused of using sweatshop-workers.
A Los Angeles class-action lawsuit was filed against Wal-Mart in 2005 on behalf of
15 workers from Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Nicaragua, and Swaziland regarding
sweatshop working practices. The lawsuit alleges Wal-Mart failed to monitor working
conditions at its overseas suppliers. Sweatshop-workers are commonly paid less than
$1 per hour! Sweatshop-workers are often used by big organisations in undeveloped
parts of the world because sweatshop-workers can be paid very small amounts of money.
Internet giant Google has a company motto DO NO EVIL. This motto was clearly disregarded
for the sake of profits in 2006. Google agreed to censor politically sensitive websites
from its Chinese search engine, thereby conforming to repressive Chinese governance.
The Chinese Government frequently commits human rights abuses. Google was undoubtedly
doing evil by indirectly endorsing Chinese oppression. Google's profit for October,
November, and December 2007 was $1.21 billion, but this profit was lower than expected.
Google's corporate information says: "You can make money without doing evil." Irrespective
of China censorship issues I declare: All excessive wealth is evil. Google hopes
to make $100 billion during 2010AD. Vast profits arise from the exploitation of plebs.
Poor people suffer because they exist on low wages in circumstances of social deprivation.
A minority of poor folk feel compelled to commit acts of violence due to their anger
regarding an unfeeling capitalist hell. Negative consequences arise from greed. The
selfish motivation behind $100 billion profit is truly nasty. People often say "The
love of money is the root of all evil." Avarice does not make the world a wholesome
place. Sergey Brin (President of Technology at Google) possesses estimated wealth
of $18.5 billion.
The New York Yankees baseball team are the pinstriped embodiment of baseball tradition.
Visualise fifty-one-thousand fans paying an average of $28 each time to enjoy 81
home games whilst gorging themselves on hot dogs and sodas for $4.50 each. Unfortunately
during 2006AD the Yankees made a loss of $28 million but this is not a problem because
the overall value of the team rose by $200 million to $1.2 billion! Revenue is generated
via stadium tickets ($117 million), TV/radio rights ($60 million), Major League TV
licensing ($30 million), concessions ($10 million), sponsorships and advertising
($30 million), premier seating ($27 million), local radio ($13 million), catering
($5 million), other ($10 million). The largest expense is player costs totalling
around $200 million per year. Life is good if you are a player but if you are a slob
sucking down sodas it can be a poor deal.
In 2007AD office-materials-supplier Staples entered into a contract with Hewlet Packard
(HP). The contract was regarding Staples selling ink-cartridges for HP printers.
Staples made a net profit of $680 million in 2007AD. HP made a gargantuan $726 billion
profit but HP was disappointedly losing money because customers at Staples were buying
refurbished "Staples-own-brand" cartridges for HP printers. The contract HP made
with Staples involved an alleged payment of $100 million to Staples to ensure Staples
only sold HP-branded ink-cartridges. Customers are helplessly controlled by businesses.
Businesses often try to limit competition... HP cartridges are sadly more expensive
for customers. A monopoly is the prefect situation for businesses. A lawsuit accusing
HP of violating Antitrust Federal Law was filed against HP regarding this inky-greed.
J. P. Morgan Chase is the most blue-blooded of American banks. Jamie Dimon became
President of JP Morgan Chase in 2004. Surprisingly, despite earning $44 million per
year, Jamie Dimon is renowned for shunning the vulgarity of excessive wealth! Unfortunately
Dimon does not actually shun excessive wealth; he simply shuns the vulgarity via
easing his conscience with philanthropic donations. Sadly the pretence of NOT BEING
VULGAR is merely propaganda. A $44 million wage is nearly a King's ransom therefore
"blue-blooded" is a fitting description. In 2003 JP Morgan Chase was implicated in
fraud perpetrated by Enron Creditors Recovery Group therefore the Securities and
Exchange Commission ordered JP Morgan Chase to pay a fine of $135 million. Unfortunately
$135 million is peanuts to a company such as JP Morgan Chase. Corruption is unsurprising
in the world of business.
$5.85 was the USA federal minimum-wage at the beginning of 2008AD. A person working
40 hours each week earning this minimum-wage earns slightly over twelve thousand
dollars per year. Twelve thousand dollars is a tiny sum compared to Jamie Dimon's
$44 million wage. Most people would gladly donate half their wage to charity if they
could earn $44 million per year because you continue to be stinking rich and exceptionally
vulgar with $22 million per year. Anyone earning more than $1 million per year is
a very greedy pig! The wealth of the following Americans is absolutely disgusting.
The Walton Family possess a $70 billion fortune thanks to Wal-Mart retailing. Warren
Buffett achieved $58 billion via Investments. Forrest & John Mars gratefully reap
$40 billion from their confectionary business. Charles & David Koch depend upon Oil
Services for their $32 billion. Software and computing in America is big business.
Microsoft has created $56 billion for Bill Gates, $18 billion for Paul Allen, and
$12 billion for Steven Ballmer. Gordon Moore has a $4 billion fortune thanks to Intel,
and Lawrence Ellison has $21 billion thanks to Oracle. Minimum-wage earners can only
dream of possessing such excessively vulgar wealth. Philip Knight is worth $6.5 billion
due to Nike Sportswear, Steven Spielberg is worth $2.6 billion due to movie production,
and George Lucas is worth $3.4 billion due to the Star-Wars movies. Don't ever allow
yourself to be confused by propaganda informing you how rich people are morally respectable.
US Senators are also very wealthy. Approximately 40% of Senators are millionaires.
The richest senators are John Kerry $164 million, Herb Kohl $110 million, Jay Rockefeller
$82 million, Edward M. Kennedy $40 million, and Dianne Feinstein $38 million. All
riches arise from exceedingly vulgar exploitation. Philanthropic programs of social-responsibility
or charitable donations do not mitigate the fact that stupid people are being cruelly
exploited. The worldwide phenomenon of dolt exploitation occurs in all nations. USA
is not better or worse than any other country.
