    This is why I agree with affirmative action.  Opponents say, just let business make the right decision to hire the best candidate.  Well, this is what you get when people are left to do the right thing, they intentionally or unintentionally make the wrong decision. People naturally want to be around people that look like them.  Especially businesses need help with integration, otherwise the people with the most power ethnically will continue to pass it to people that look like them. Have you ever been to an office party where everyone comes in together but the people that work together end up sitting at the same tables?  Well, the same thing occurs in all countries in all industries around the world.  Does it seem unfair to a few that do not see a level playing field when their places are taken for the sake of diversity?  Of course it does, but a few are inconvenienced for the benefit of the whole society that sees a diverse workforce which then inspires others to work hard.  The truth is that there will never be a level playing field unless it is tilted back to level to include minorities.

      'Suicide is Painless' fraudster turns himself in

      Posted by marcuscrockett2 from USA Today

      Now wait a second...Where is Neal Boortz when you need him? Here is a example of fraud, waste, and crime in the private sector that we think can solve all of our problems. Somehow he will blame the hedge fund abuse, the Enron fraud and the Worldcom fraud on the evil government. Greed exists in capitalism as well and it tends to hurt a greater number of people than the waste that occurs in the government. Just about everyone's portfolio has been hurt by the Enron and Worldcom disaster. Pure capitalism will just allow the businessmen to take over and rape the nation. You can try but you can't legislate morality, people will waste money and make bad decisions regardless of the economic system.

      Small Business Owners tout benefits of self-employment amid market chaos

      Posted by marcuscrockett2 from Market Watch

      Clearly, there are more benefits to being self-employed than being duly rewarded for your hard work. A companies relationship with an employee is simply the acceptance of a value proposition. The employee adds costs to the company and proposes to add greater value than their costs, the company charges a fee at the end of the value chain and pockets the difference. People who understand this are self -employed. According to estimate for the U.S. Department of Commerce, small businesses account for nearly 60% of the gross national product, produce some 75% of the new jobs, and are a major source of new technologies and innovation.
