Here's a link that provides some useful information that may help guide some people as to who to blame. Ultimately each individual will make their own choice. Greed is definately the main problem. http://www.factcheck.org/..._the_economic_crisis.html

Corporate tax rates have been in a steady decline. Some people keep screaming to cut them even more. I recently read, according to the GAO, that 2/3s of businesses pay no taxes. But what have these cuts done? For starters, companies investment in their own employees is significantly lower than in the past. Companies are happier to turn over experienced workers for cheaper workers. Why? Because consumers are more willing to accept lower quality goods and lower quality services. Every year, corporate profits have been hitting another all time high. Consumer buying power is increasing based on the quantity of junk we fill our homes with.

In a nutshell, the average American works harder and longer to buy larger quantities of lower quality products and this is measured as progress. Corporate profits increase, executives are earning income at a ridiculous rate, yet people keep claiming that by continuing to eliminate business taxes, American workers will be better off. Sadly to say, that model hasn't been working for the past 10 years, so why will it now?
