Massive CEO rewards for tax dodging

I've always thought the 2 party system the US, has is the perfect setup for controlling the populace. Look at how absolutely divided the two sides are, the endless amounts of rhetoric and nonsense that comes from both groups, pulling the strings of the devout (I mean the politically devout). Politics is religion in so many ways (unfortunately all the negative ways), where the believers become indoctrinated and blind to all else.

I have never personally believed that Capitalism is the answer, any more then I believed that Communism or Socialism is. I believe more in a hybrid solution which takes the best aspects of both. I strongly think that corporations must be socially responsible entities, both in the local and global sense, rather than destructive, pathological entities. I don't think anyone deserves to be very rich, no matter what they do. I think education levels and what you contribute to society should be the determining factor of what you earn, not your ability to exploit. I also do not believe in a free ride for anyone (though I do believe in helping those who need it back to their feet).

Unfortunately, I also believe the chances of any of that actually happening, are about nil.
