But I have to say the following. American business people for the most part today have no soul, no ethics, and no class. I remember when a business person saw his or her best employees as an asset and not a balance sheet cost. When I hear people like John Schnatter of Papa John's complain about the Affordable Care Act and throw a fit about how he will have to charge people 10 to 15 cents more a pizza, I think of my two sons with pre-existing conditions, autism and crohn's disease respectively, and I think, "what a dick". When I think of American business leaders today, I do not think of some sort of "provider" and god like the right, but I think of what comes out of my rear when I sit on a toilet seat. I remember when America was better than this. I hope to leave and find the country I lost one day.
