Who Really Ruined Everything?

Many times over the years, I've heard people talk about Lawyers, and how they screwed everything up. I can't deny that we have a system of justice, and compensation that favors lawyers. I can't deny either, that there are many really screwed lawyers, and laws. Who do you go to if the system seems to be falling on you, and potentially robbing you of life and fortune? But I argue, if you want to see where things really went wrong in this country, and who is responsible, I'd direct you to the incredibly obnoxious and greedy MBA, Master of Business Administration. There was a time when most business leaders cared about doing a great job, producing a high quality product that lasts, and maintaining a professional aptitude. Somewhere along the line, to me, it was during the Reagan administration, business in the U.S. went under a sea change. Instead of being in business to profit from quaility, and professionalism, the mantra of business became, the sole purpose of the company/corporation is to make money for the stockholders, regardless of the price to society. Of course business's need to make money, but not at the expense of their workers and their public. Stockholders are risktakers, who should believe in the products and values of the business' they invest in. Not in simply looting the business and public for all they can get without the responsibility of the fall out. What do you think.
