It doesn't even matter if the guy at the top is a living saint. As soon as he's presented with a choice between profit or piety, he absolutely must choose profit.
There's no shortage of people looking to make hundreds of times more "money" than their subordinates for doing hundreds of times less "work".
Isn't that just human greed? If laws around the world were like in the US, people would be alike those corrupt employers you are talking about.
I have a problem with people criticizing major corporations, while I agree they should pay more taxes and be heavily regulated, we mustn't forget the products everyone buys and depends on them to buy. A guy once proposed to abolish corporations (major ones) and I answered 'So where do I get my car, TV, cell phone, computer, micro wave, medications?'. Not saying we couldn't produce them later by other companies but the result would be disastrous
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
