Years ago politicians could/would see the injustices from greedy companies and act upon it. Fast forward 50 years, the corruption has seeped right the way through big business and engulfed them.....................he must be turning in his grave :sad:

Yes, unfortunately.

But why would you want to?
This is the man who made Labour into the right-wing, neo-liberal party it is today. :(

That guy who was armed to the teeth , who was out to put Cameron on the departed list, was deemed as mentally unstable! Such an easy diagnosis to make, when everyone knows Bliar is first.........if only :twisted:

The Kennedy family wealth doesnt smack of great worker relations...

Quote:
Joseph Kennedy Sr., starting from a solidly middle class family in Boston, created a fortune that gave his children and grandchildren the freedom to pursue public service. Kennedy’s business ventures included banking, stock trading, producing movies and selling liquor. He thought to get out of the stock market before the crash of 1929 — after the major devaluation of everyone else’s portfolios, his family was only more wealthy during the Great Depression, in the 1930s.


Joe Kennedy’s money may have had unsavory sources as well. He is rumored to have imported liquor during Prohibition, working with mobsters in that industry (he later sold his legitimate liquor importing business to a known mobster named Abner “Longy” Zwillman). Joe Kennedy never publicly revealed his wealth, but the New York Times estimated his net worth at $500,000,000 when he died in 1969

Where does it say that the workforce were not well paid/looked after.

My way of thinking is that I have no hang ups as to how wealthy anyone becomes............just so long as the work force who help to create the wealth - get a decent share.

I think you can be rest assured to know.............Those who have made millions/Billions have committed criminal acts along the way. The Banks and Government rob us every day ! Have you stopped doing business with them?
