The 'recovery' from the recession is proof of the dark side of capitalism - greed. It is disturbing evidence the rich will not altruistically help the needy, drive the economy, or, as some might have you believe, create jobs.

As a business school graduate and a successful banking professional, I truly believe in capitalism and the opportunities it creates for innovation, competition, and success in terms of profits. However, as a social liberal, I also believe in helping those less fortunate, the right of healthcare for all, fair and equitable treatment of employees, and the duty of government to assist in provision of these. It is unfortunate we see so much evidence these two views are widely considered mutually exclusive rather than complementary.
