GM is one of the quintessential "screw your neighbor" corporate cultures, and now they are collapsing. See how Amazon treats the employees and customers, and you will see the new face of Capitalism.
Capitalism does not teach one to be cut-throat. Capitalism teaches one to be profitable. American business is realizing a well-cared-for employee and customer base results in higher profits.

Big business does yes. Small business is still in the nineteenth century, or more properly the ninth...Joe the Miller certainly has no problem with the feudal Lord forcing all the peasants to use his services and no other.
Look at the ones on this board, the one guy actually posted a letter from this nimnul who got where he was by SBA loans and now wants to make sure the govt doesn't give anybody a break similar to his. The others are quite willing to start another Great Depression just so long as their taxes don't go up. To a man all of them seem to believe that businesspeople shouldn't have to pay taxes AT ALL, that apparently owning a business makes them all "achievers" who are so much better than we dirt under their feet that we should pay them for the ineffable privilege of having them swindle us and/or exploit our labor.
