More on the People's Republic of Corporate America

I wonder how many people on the boards of directors of major corporations actually know jack sh-- about the business they are in. How many members of the board of directors of any retail giant have ever stood on a sales floor, looked a customer in the eye, and tried to justify policies that make absolutely no sense whatsoever?

How many members of the boards of directors of the home improvement giants have ever hammered a nail?

How many members of the boards of directors of the major oil companies have ever actually been to an oil well?

How many members of the boards of directors of manufacturing companies have ever actually worked on an assembly line?

How many steel executives have ever worked in a steel mill?

And on and on it goes.

They don't know anything about their businesses on the business end, and yet they refuse to listen to those who do.

And these are the bozos that are getting the tax cuts?
