Sold my company 3 years ago now. Manufacturing. Small family business 75 years. Gov't business over the years but nothing that made us billions.
I'm beginning to think that those that made it really, REALLY, big for the most part, became corrupt and engaged in business with gov't at some point that provided ill gotten gains.
Most. Some made it big without corruption for the most part, but I'm so jaded now that I believe most huge corporations only made it via corrupt business dealings with gov't and with corps already involved with corrupt gov't hands.
